[quote=rls;694001]Do you have a oil filter in the oil line that feeds the furnace? If its outside it may be freezing or gellng up. The other thing if your lines are exposed outside they could also be freezing.
Nope.....everything including tank is in the basement

Fuel oil: #2 heating oil, commonly refered to as off road diesel. Used in furnaces throughout the Middle to Northern tier of the US and Canada to heat one's shelter. Untaxed, typically 15 cents a gallon less expensive than "on road" diesel fuel. Dyed, so as not to be used in on road applications lest you be heavily fined.

Take a trouble light and hang it or lay it right on the line comming out of the tank. and for tonight through a blanket on te est of the exposed oil line.u
use a trouble light with a 100 watt bulb if you have one.

Do you use the premium pleated air filters or the cheap blue floss style?
How does the belt look on the blower motor? Tight?
Look at the blades on the blower fan, are they caked with dirt?

QUOTE: you still thinking low air flow let it trip high limit? Yes!
There are hundreds of things that could contribute to it happening. Keep an open mind and look for a simple cause for this to happen.
Example: Look to see if any of your cold air returns are partially blocked by furniture, curtains or rugs if the returns are in the floor. I've been to rental properties that tenants have thrown rugs over the cold air returns on the floor because they didn't want the kids toys to fall in. I've seen couches pushed tight up against wall mounted cold air returns and restrict the flow.
