With lower temperatures common in New York, staying on top of your fuel levels is imperative to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable winter season. Knowing when to order fuel for your tank can greatly reduce the risk of a fuel runout, which can be a stressful situation. Read this blog from BetterwithBioheat.com to learn how to manage your fuel levels this season.
Staying on top of your fuel levels is easy when you know how to check your tank gauge. Your tank gauge is a sight glass on the top of your tank that indicates how much fuel is in the tank. The sight glass will have markers for Full, ¾, ½, and ¼. To check your gauge, just go to your tank and find the sight glass on the top. Before it reaches ¼ full is when you should place a fuel order.
If you are a will-call customer, you should regularly check your tank gauge to ensure you have plenty of fuel. Changes in your household, cold snaps, and winter storms, as well as poor insulation, may cause you to burn more fuel than you anticipate. If a storm is forecasted, order fuel as far ahead of it as possible. If the holidays are around the corner, it’s important to remember that those are high-demand times, too, so you should place your order well ahead of time to ensure a stress-free holiday season.
If you are worried about taking care of your fuel deliveries over the busy winter season or any time of year, consider finding out if your fuel provider offers automatic delivery. With automatic delivery, your fuel provider will keep track of your fuel levels for you and schedule automatic deliveries for you.
