what system?

Thanks Spruce. He seems pretty knowledgeable and he does know how to reset my boiler by putting it on his diagnostic software and resetting it that way. He just told me I should be able to reset it myself by pulling the fuse out for 10 seconds, but it doesn't work. So each time it locks out I have to go to him for a reset by the computer. It's throwing up flame failure on the diagnostics. He thought it was the fuel line originally and it worked for a couple of months then stopped again. It had a new burner last year and I've only used it for about 5 months since the new burner because of swapping it over to a new van. Batteries are all ok he says. I'm wondering if it's a sensor issue or something putting it into lockout mode.

To reset mine I take the fuse out for 30 seconds put it back in turn the controller on then turn it off remove fuse again for 30 seconds put it back turn controller back on and that resets it

Judging by the recent whispers regarding some insurance companies apparently refusing any system not a crash tested system, you might seriously consider having a crash system fitted by a professional supplier. So a Purefreedom crash tested system should be fitted by their own workshop. They should know what they are doing.

This could mean that I would need to have my system's DIY welded tank frame replaced and fitted by Purefreedom in the future if my insurance company starts to apply stricter insurance conditions. (BTW, my tank frame is a copy of the original P/F frame from 18 years ago with addition supports added. I was asked when I took out insurance with my insurers 8 years ago if the tank was professionally fitted. I told them it was fitted by me and was professionally fitted, which seemed to satisfy them.)

I have some doubts about this and what someone said a while back, optimistically I'd have thought it more likely they insist on a system being professionally fitted how they work that one out will be interesting as technically I had my system professionally fitted at a garage by skilled competent tradesmen,

I think they will most likely want to prevent accidents and payouts on vans that have tanks just ratchet strapped in of which we know there have been fatalities.

Also when I had my old Pure Freedom system fitted in my previous van by Pure Freedom I didn't receive any paperwork certifying that the system I had fitted was crash-tested based on a system well their cage that was crash-tested years ago, but have they changed the design over the years and are these changes allowed under that certification

P/F still advertise them as crash tested. I agree that this is a can of worms, but the insurance company will find it easy to enforce by just refusing to ensure us. We will have to prove the tank meets any new standards they stipulate.

Remember how they had bull bars removed from the front of vehicles. It was a government safety drive, but they left it with insurance companies to enforce their regulations.

If you are having PF supply and fit a tank for example, then we need to ensure that we get a certificate of compliance to prove this fitted system meets the crash tested standards. This would need to be a condition stipulated at the time of order and given in writing as part of the quote.

When a system has been fitted by the likes of Ionic’s , pure freedom or there approved fitting centres the insurance companies accept that as a given standard that’s acceptable to them , I have one van fitted out by Ionic’s themselves and 3 vans fitted out by Hydramaster who are ionics approved fitting centres and the insurance company accepted that as a safe approved fitting centres, I don’t have any certificates to prove this only the fitting invoices from them . I think Jo bloggs at the local back street garage fitting a frame and tank wouldn’t be classed as an acceptable fitting centre by most insurance companies, but if the words fitted by a competent person are used then that opens up a different kettle of worms all together.
