Richard how far is your tank away from the burner? Another thing you need to look at is the actual fall in the delivery pipework?

Tank is only approx 5 metres from house, I have it working now but the flow is weak. I think you maybe right as the tank dont seem high enough for gravity push.

Can it be raised? Even a few inches could make all the difference also have you bled the system at the burner?

Don't need too much hight for it to work mate. May need to be bled through properly, nozzle blocking( new nozzle), or may need to put a tiger loop in.
