Avoid running out of heating oil

Did you know?

and potential leaks.

How to monitor your heating oil?
There is actually more than one method to monitor your tank levels.
Dipstick method
Insert the dipstick into your heating oil tank vertically until it touches the bottom.
Remove the dipstick to see how much of it has been immersed in the oil.
If the lower part of the dipstick is covered, this indicates levels are getting low and you'll need to schedule a delivery soon.
Want to put the dipstick method to the test?
The Smarter way to monitor your home heating oil is by using a Fuel Monitor.
Fuel monitors
Checking your tank levels are a whole lot easier with a fuel monitor that does the job for you.
How it works:
Fuel monitors record the amount of heating oil remaining in the tank.
With our range of fuel monitors available online, you can monitor how much heating oil is in your tank and order a top up before levels become low.
If you’re unsure on how to install a tank gauge, we provide step by step installation instructions available to download from each product page.
