Spring is officially here! It’s time to get ready for warmer weather, blooming flowers, chirping birds … and the end of heating season. With that, it’s also the best time of year to top off your heating oil tank.
An Empty Tank Risks Costly Corrosion and Damage
In a less-than-full heating oil tank, spring and summer’s fluctuating weather causes significant differences between the temperature inside the tank and that outside of it, contributing to condensation buildup within its interior. This condensation then promotes the growth of microbes, which lead to costly corrosion, sludge formation, and structural damage.
To prevent this, Alger Oil & Propane recommends giving your tank one last fill before cooling season is in full swing. In doing so, you’re able to protect it from sustaining damage while it remains unused during the spring and summer — avoiding a costly headache at the onset of the next heating season.
And, topping off your fuel tank during the spring means taking advantage of off-season fuel prices. That sounds like a win-win to us!
