FACT: Heating oil is not unsafe or highly flammable.

It is very different from gasoline or natural gas. It won’t ignite at room temperature — in fact, it must be heated to about 140°F and vaporized before it can burn. That stability makes it a safe and reliable fuel source for homes and businesses.

Outdoor oil tanks are treated with an additive at every delivery to help prevent fuel gelling in colder temperatures. When temperatures drop, heating oil can thicken and form wax crystals, which may restrict oil flow to your heating system. The additive helps maintain proper flow so your system can operate smoothly.
