##Step-by-Step Instructions:

1.) SAFETY FIRST: Before beginning any work, ensure the oil furnace is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Ensure there is no fuel in the line and that the oil tank is empty.

2.) Oil Line Preparation: Start by measuring and cutting the oil lines to the appropriate length. Use a utility knife to make clean, straight cuts on the oil lines.

3.) Connect Oil Lines: Attach one end of the oil supply line to the oil tank valve. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connection securely.

4.) Install Strainer: Attach the oil filter or strainer to the other end of the supply line. Again, use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connection.

5.) Connect Fuel Pump: Connect the oil return line to the inlet of the fuel pump. Securely tighten the connection using an adjustable wrench.

6.) Connect the Return Line: Attach the other end of the oil return line to the port or opening marked as “return” on your oil furnace.

7.) Inspect Connections: After all the connections are made, perform a thorough visual inspection to ensure all connections are secure and tight. Any loose connections may cause leaks or malfunctions.

8.) Open the Oil Valve: Now, open the valve on the oil tank to begin fueling the system.

9.) Purge Air from the Lines: Once you’ve turned the fuel supply on, cycle the power on and off until the air is purged out of the line and the burner starts properly.

10.) Test the Furnace: Monitor the furnace for a while after it turns on to ensure everything is working properly. Look out for any unusual sounds, leaks, or burner malfunctions.

11.) Clean up and Restore: Once the furnace is running properly, clean up the work area and restore any access panels or covers.

12.) Turn on Heat: Set the thermostat to the desired temperature and enjoy the warmth!

> Safety Note: Always keep safety as the top priority when working with oil furnaces and fuel lines. If you are uncomfortable with any part of this process, call a professional technician to help you with the installation.
