When we bought the house in the spring, the tank was 3/4 full. Sellers didn't charge us for the fuel in the tank - so that's a win.
The local fuel oil supplier won't deliver for less than 100 gallons. We still don't need 100 gallons of fuel.
I called them the other day and the current price is $6.89 for blended fueloil delivered with 100 gallon minimum. Diesel and Kerosene are both right aroud $5.50 a gallon locally. That's going to save me literal hundreds over the winter if I get myself.
Originally I was going to just get 10 or so gallons at a time. One can of kero, one can of diesel. But that would take some time. A friend suggested getting a 55 gallon drum and doing myself. Sttarted to look into that and apparently it's legal for me to haul up to 110 gallons at a time.
I got an empty NEW motor oil barrel. I am thinking of strapping it on a pallet on the back of my small trailer and running to the pumps and buying 25 gallons of each at a time then coming home and pumping into the tank .
Anyone else do this?
