Homeowners Beware: If you Run your House on Oil/Diesel




 The ethanol content in diesel fuel will also ruin your oil tank with rust and corrosion if you do not use a fuel treatment to protect it. I paid thousands to replace mine, a smaller one. Why not take preventative measures in protecting your tank to save you grief. With Fuel Factor X, the heat will run longer because you will use less fuel.


How Long Can You Let Your Oil Tank Go?


When the inside of your heating oil tank begins to rust, it creates rust sediment that gets mixed in with your heating oil. When you turn your heat on in the fall, this sediment gets pulled into your heating equipment and can cause serious problems for your equipment, including:
 

  • Complete breakdown of your heating system
  • Erratic or unpredictable operation of your heating system
  • Blocking and erosion of burner tips and mechanical parts
  • Loss of heat release



How can you prevent damage to your oil tank from low oil levels and increased condensation?

 Filling your heating oil tank right before summer starts leaves very little room for condensation to form inside your tank and can help prevent the inside of your tank from rusting.
Periodic inspections of your heating equipment and oil tank can also help detect any issues before they become major problems or an oil leak occurs. If your tank is 15 years old or older, a tank replacement would be in your best interest to prevent oil leaks and damage to your heating equipment. Our expert team of energy consultants can come to your home to provide a free consultation and estimate and help you choose the right tank for your home.


If you burn wet logs the heat is greatly reduced and you get buildup in the flue. Same idea.


Can Condensation in an Oil Tank Damage Heating Equipment?

You do not want to let your oil get too low, so you need to check regularly when you are going through a lot of oil to see when it is time to add more oil. In the Northeast, you may go through around five gallons of oil per day during the winter. If you are not using it up, the oil sitting in your tank should last around 18 to 24 months, as long as it contains additives.

Why Do We Need Multi-Faceted Fuel Treatments?

Benefits of Fuel Treatments They help your vehicle drive further, save on fuel, save the planet, and enhance performance like horsepower. A decent one prolongs engine life. A car is your second largest investment. Cars are no longer easy to come by so why not take care of what you have. They should work in both gas and diesel. It should be very concentrated to the point it increases the available BTUs in the gasoline, which burns the fuel smarter. Now you can drop down to 89 octane and get great benefits instead of paying more by using a more expensive fuel like super. Reduce Emissions for the Planet Remember, emissions are pollutants. By using a high grade fuel treatment dangerous by-products like particulates, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons do not form. Emissions could be reduced if you added proper treatments to your fuels. If treatments included organometallic compounds, it would reduce emissions for the planet in an enormous way. This works at a chemical level to atomize the fue...
