Might take a look at that since this issue seems to happen after the oil fills. Google Tiger Loop for more info.....
There are thousands of heating systems that run just fine even if the tank is being filled! Your air issue is not fixed , but the de aerator is masking the problem... but it's keeping the unit running. Is the oil line an overhead line?
