The tubes are in the ceiling under the joists. The registers are in the rooms . My house is app. 1800 sq.ft. My problem is some of the regiters are air bound and do not bleed air or water.The boiler will not maintain pressure . There must be a leak [obviously] and I can't seem to locate it. The water in the collecting tank is black [like oil].I know you are not supposed to add water [at least in large amounts].My question is how do you go about purging the system. It has worked fairly well but I do recall inefficient heating in some rooms the last years. I would appreciate any help on this matter. P.S. The tubes are steel tubes [app. 3/8 o.d.] I have an Akerman hot water system and it is 50 years old.The expansion tank is lower than supply tubes. The tubes are in the ceiling under the joists.

I also have a biogas fired boiler. I intend to direct this odourous stream as part of the combustion air into the boiler, so as to combust the odour. What is the best way to do this. Direct it into the fuel side (biogas line) or air side (by reducing the air blower air supply to the extent being supplemented by odourous air.
