When you use oil to heat your home, it is not uncommon for the odor of diesel fuel to appear occasionally. A thimble full of heating oil can permeate an entire room.
If your tank is in the basement of your home, go down and inspect it immediately. Heating oil is actually an oil, so it will be greasy, and it is dyed red. If you see any substance resembling this, please call Love Energy Fuel Services right away. If your tank is outside also inspect it for a red, greasy substance.
As mentioned earlier, diesel fuel has a strong odor and a single drop is noticeable. If your tank is inground and you smell oil, it is likely from your furnace and it is a good idea to schedule an appointment to have it inspected and, if needed, repaired.
Heating oil is a type of diesel fuel, a petroleum product just like gasoline, and its odor is very strong. It can be dangerous in large amounts in small spaces, but this situation is rare. It is more of an annoyance than a danger.
⇒ Check to make sure your tank is not empty and your furnace has power.
⇒ Check for blown or loose fuses, or a tripped circuit breaker.
⇒ Check your thermostat to make sure it is set higher than the room temperature.
⇒ Locate and push the “restart” button (usually located on the oil burner). Push this button only once.
⇒ If using a steam system, check the water level in the sight glass.
⇒ If furnace refuses to turn on, give Love Energy a call for service.
If your gauge is malfunctioning, please contact Love Energy so that one of our technicians can evaluate the issue or install a new gauge. It is important to understand that a tank’s capacity does not directly correspond to its nominal size. Diesel fuel expands with heat and contracts in cooler temperatures, which is why oil tanks are designed to accommodate these fluctuations in volume. As a result, a 275-gallon tank typically holds around 250 to 260 gallons of fuel, with larger tanks showing an even greater variation.
Inground tanks typically feature a pipe with an elbow or bend, which can hinder the standard “sticking” method of measuring fuel levels. If your tank is inground, “sticking” may not be feasible. Love Energy is available to offer some alternative ways to monitor the levels in these tanks. Please feel free to contact our office, and a representative will be glad to assist you.
