Long Term Oil Storage

Damon

Like 1-3 years of a 275 gal tank that's 3/4 full. What do you guys use? Beckett FuelArmor? I'm taking over a house that was used yr round and using it as a summer home so it will take a long time to use up that oil and I don't want to kill my nice Thermo Pride OL5-85RDA (Beckett AF) . Last delivery of 165 gal was in April. Any suggestions for mothballing the furnace (we'll be using the AC though)? Will the oil co pump out the oil?

Fuel Armor

Fuel Armor should do the trick

I went with Fuel Right EP

for the following reasons:

Some recommendations here

I could find an MSDS sheet for it

It was cheaper than FuelArmor

I like the simple jar test on their website

The different brands are all probably mostly the same with a little variation in concentration and/or type of ingredients anyway. Basically one needs organic dispersants, corrosion inhibitors, biocides and anti-oxidants which all claim to have.
