Shut off #6 oil transfer pumps

[cleancondenser]

We are no longer usig the boilers for Summer, but maintenace still
wants to run the two transfer pumps year round,24/7 ,
to constantly keep
the # 6 heating oil traveling through the thermostatically controled

electric heaters on the boilers.

They are concerned if the oil does not circulate ,it will
clog every thing up.

I want a middle ground ,a combination of controlling the pumps by
1) temperature control located on the line between the storage tank
and the pump suction.
2) Time clock that will run the pumps a couple of hours a day
What is the general procedure for this?
Thnk you

Bunker C I thought that stuff was extinct... I ve had multiple properties that had "C" and never ran the pumps year round. Bottom line if they can get rid of the Bunker C and convert to a lighter oil. Running the pumps year round might cause more maint. than its worth. Bunker is dirty, dirty, and will crystalize if it gets to hot, so if you run it year round chances are your heaters will foul up quicker.

If its not circulating what is it gonna clog up?????

Turn it off and forget about!!!!!
