If you see two oil lines going to your oil furnace, most likely one is a supply line and the other is the return line to the oil tank. When it is necessary to lift oil to the burner, a return line should be connected between the fuel pump and tank. This requires insertion of the bypass plug into the fuel pump.

Does an electric furnace need an outside air intake?
No, an electric furnace does not need an outside air intake. For oil and gas furnaces an air supply is needed. It is called combustion air. It is needed for complete combustion of the fuel and not use the heated air that is in the house. Today's homes are built as a sealed unit to stop infiltration air from leaking in and costing the home owner more money to heat the home. Many installations use a motorized damper that cuts off the air supply when the furnace is not operating. This prevents a draft through the vent from the outside of the house when other extracting devices are operating.
Is it better to turn the furnace off or leave it on?
Obviously a furnace - or indeed any other appliance - will use no energy at all if it is completely switched off. If you don't want to spend any money on heat energy then of course it is "better " to turn the furnace off. It depends what you mean by "leave it on": even if you leave the electricity and gas on, (or oil if it's an oil burner), if the temperature of the room or building is high enough to make the air-termperature thermostat switch the furnace's burners off, the furnace won't actually be running and consuming very much energy. All the furnace would consume in that condition is a few Watts of electrical power to supply its control circuit and maybe a few Watts more to drive a water circulating pump for the radiators, if that is how your system works. Of course you could turn the furnace's main control switch "off" so that the furnace will stay off even when the air temperature falls enough to cause the control thermostat to switch over to put the furnace's burners on... Then you would save a few Watts of energy but would lose the convenience of having the furnace heat your home and water automatically. Instead you would have to switch the furnace on yourself every time you wanted some heat. So, do you want "convenience" or "inconvenience"? It's up to you to decide...
