HOW TO CALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF HEATING OIL IN YOUR STORAGE TANK
Whether you’re an automatic heating oil delivery customer or you’re placing orders when you need them, how to determine the amount of fuel you have in your heating oil storage tank is something every Richmond homeowner should know!
All you’ll need is the size of your storage tank, the conversion chart below and a measuring stick. If you don’t have a measuring stick, consider purchasing one from a Woodfin technician or delivery driver the next time they are at your home.
How to use the measuring stick and conversion chart:
If you’ve ever checked the oil in your car, using a measuring stick is similar to that. You insert the stick into your tank until you reach the bottom, take note of how many inches of oil are on the stick and then use that information along with the size of your tank to determine how many gallons of fuel you have left.
Check out the conversion chart on this page, and if you have any questions feel free to call!
