Because many people are worried about the price of heating oil and how it might rise in the future they are buying extra tanks and filling them up. If you can get your tanks filled up when the price of heating oil is low then this could prove to be a very good idea. During the summer months in particular can be a good time to get the best deals on this fuel. If you have more than one tank then you should be able to store enough so that you don’t need to buy again that year. But if you are planning on storing heating oil for a long time, then there are a few things you need to consider.
- Some people claim that after a certain period of time that heating oil goes off. But how the oil is actually stored will determine how long this would take. Some people claim that you can store oil for up to a decade without it going off; while others claiming that you could have problems after as little as three years. If you only tend to store a year’s supply then you shouldn’t have too many problems.
- You are probably going to be more of a target for oil theft if you have a higher amount of oil sitting on your property. Because of the slowdown in the economy, crime is on the increase and this crime in particular has increased quite a bit because stealing oil can be a lucrative business.
- If you are going to store oil in an extra tank you will need to consider how you are going to transfer into the tank that is connected to your system. You should probably talk to your heating oil provider about this.
