FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How does the quality of your fuel affect the performance of my heating system or equipment?

    The quality of the fuel you use plays a critical role in the efficiency and lifespan of your heating system or machinery. We provide high-quality, refined fuels that meet or exceed industry standards, helping to prevent issues like clogging, incomplete combustion, and system malfunctions. Using our premium fuels ensures smoother operation, improved efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs over time.

  • What are the benefits of choosing blended fuel, and when is the best time to use it?

    Blended fuel is a mix of #1 and #2 fuel oil, designed to improve cold weather performance. It’s typically available from November through March and is especially effective during Michigan’s freezing temperatures. The addition of #1 fuel oil lowers the pour point and improves flow characteristics, reducing the risk of gelling in outdoor tanks and fuel lines. This blend ensures reliable performance and combustion efficiency during the winter months.

  • How do seasonal changes affect my fuel consumption, and how can I optimize delivery schedules to meet my needs?

    Fuel consumption can fluctuate based on seasonal weather patterns, with colder months typically requiring more fuel for heating. By monitoring your usage patterns and adjusting delivery schedules accordingly, you can avoid running out of fuel during critical periods and prevent unnecessary overstocking. Our team can work with you to create a customized delivery plan, adjusting for both peak demand in winter and lighter usage in warmer months to help you manage your fuel needs more effectively and cost-efficiently.
