TEMP AT WHICH FUEL OIL WILL START TO GEL?
BOB WILLARD
Member Posts: 27
I just wanted to know what temp fuel oil Gels at? I have a 275 Gal tank outside with a single line going from the bottom of the tank into the ground about 8 inches-then it comes back up right into the foundation-of my basement.. I have never had a gel problem the tank is 2 years old.. Its been cold for a week here now--5 degs at night and teens for highs... I was just wondering--does the oil in the tank gel or does it gel in the lines that are exposed to the cold... Thanks for any info............. BOB...... NY
