    question on fuel oil tanks

    Dear Wallies, I have a 275 gallon fuel tank in my basement which has a feed off the bottom of the tank. Am I right in my thinking that I shouldn't have to worry about sludge build-up as all the oil on the bottom is constantly being used to fire the boiler. Also I shouldn't have to worry about too little fuel in the tank as there shouldn't be any sludge to worry about. What do you think? I think I have way to much time on my hands. ha! ha! Live/Learn
