I suggest you purchase another. There are a lot of boiler in the market that is not only new but also efficient. As for your present boiler, eventhough you would be able to fire it, the cost of maintenance might still overcome the cost of buying a new boiler in a some years. Check the payback period of purchasing a new one versus the rehabilitation of your boiler.
