Emergency! Boiler Leak!! Oil on Floor!?

Please help, Sears is screwing me around for 24 hours and I don't know what to do. There is a red rubber tube running from the ';transformer??'; into the ground, which I assume runs to the above ground oil tank in our home. There is a leak about 4'x3' and when I dipped a white piece of paper it dripped an orange/red/rusty color. I'm freaked out with no husband available til midnight. Please!! Do I call Sears again and beg (though they have No emergency assistance? thanks for the thousand dollar warranty! :%26lt;) Or do I call my local oil guys and pay out the bottom for overtime work? I heard hitting that red switchplate won't help. Please! Advice desperately needed!!!!Emergency! Boiler Leak!! Oil on Floor!?
USA I think NJGUY has a good answer. If you smell oil, turn the red switch off. Turn the valve off at the fuel oil tank. Usually, the valve is at the bottom of the tank where the boiler fuel supply pipe is connected. Your boiler will not work, so be prepared for the cold. BUT, better safe than sorry. It is now after 10 pm EST; I doubt you will get a service tech any time soon for less than a few arms and legs. If you can shut the boiler down and fuel supply off, you will be safe, but cold, until the morning. Then, start calling. If Sears does not provide immediate satisfactory response, tell them you will call an independent service tech and bill them for the cost.Emergency! Boiler Leak!! Oil on Floor!?
Can you call your husband at work? He may be able to suggest something that you can do.
There is no way a red-rubber tube can be running from the transformer. You are probably looking at an electrical line. Or, it may be the fuel from the oil burner.


If you can smell fuel oil, turn that red switch off immediately. That will turn the boiler off. Close the valve on the oil tank. Prepare for a chilly night with extra blankets available.


Then call Sears and tell them you have fuel oil spreading over your floor. If they can't get there tonight, tell them you will have no heat tonight and they had better get somewhere there as early as possible tomorrow morning.
Oil fed boiler right? Possible oil leak, right?





Go to the tank and turn of the valve that is on the exiting lines.





Don't do anything rash until your significant other can get home and help you evaluate the situation.





If you think there might be a continued problem, but are afraid to 'make a scene', call your local public safety office (on the non-emergency line) and ask if a police officer or sheriff's deputy is available to stop by and evaluate your problem.





Best of luck!
call your oil guy think about yourself right know .and let sears have it tomorrow take them too court if you have too.
first thing to do is turn the power to the unit than turn the shut off valve on your tank if you can not do this you can call your nabour or the fire dep
