  • What types of fuel do you offer, and how do I choose the right one for my needs?

    We offer a wide range of fuels, including home heating oil, off-road and on-road diesel, premium and no-lead gasoline, and blended fuel. Our team can help you choose the right fuel based on your equipment, usage, and environmental factors, ensuring you receive the best product for optimal performance and efficiency.

  • Why is ethanol-free premium gasoline important for my equipment?

    All of our premium gasoline is ethanol-free, which helps protect your engine from the corrosive effects of ethanol. Ethanol-free gasoline burns cleaner, improves fuel efficiency, and is especially beneficial for small engines, such as lawnmowers, boats, and generators, where ethanol can cause damage over time.

  • How can I ensure the longevity and efficiency of my heating system with the right fuel?

    Using high-quality fuel, such as our #1 and #2 home heating oil, ensures that your system runs efficiently and reduces the risk of maintenance issues. Our carefully refined fuels provide optimal combustion and are formulated to help prevent clogs, deposits, and wear on your heating system, extending its lifespan.

  • What is blended fuel, and why is it a better option during the winter months?

    Blended fuel combines #1 diesel with #2 diesel, providing improved protection against gelling. Available from November to March, blended fuel is an excellent choice for cold weather, as it burns cleaner and helps prevent issues like freezing in your fuel lines, ensuring reliable heating throughout the winter.

  • How do I determine the right delivery schedule for my fuel needs?

    Your fuel consumption depends on various factors such as the size of your property, the type of heating system, and seasonal demand. We can help you set up a customized delivery schedule, ensuring you receive fuel before running low, especially during colder months when consumption is higher.

  • Can I set up automatic deliveries to ensure I never run out of fuel?

    Yes, many of our customers are candidates for our keep full program. Our automatic delivery service takes the guesswork out of managing your fuel supply. Based on your usage patterns, we monitor your tank levels and schedule deliveries accordingly, ensuring that you always have the fuel you need, exactly when you need it, without having to place a call. Please reach out to us to inquire more about eligibility for this service.

  • What are the environmental benefits of using your premium gasoline?

    Using ethanol-free gasoline in small engines reduces harmful pollutants and improves fuel efficiency, which helps lower your carbon footprint.

  • What steps should I take if my fuel tank runs low or if I need an emergency fuel delivery?

    If your tank runs low, don’t worry—we offer emergency fuel delivery to ensure you’re never without the fuel you need. Simply contact us, and we’ll prioritize your delivery, ensuring that your home stays heated or your equipment continues to run smoothly.

  • How can I extend the life of my fuel tank and prevent issues like freezing or sediment buildup?

    To extend the life of your fuel tank and ensure it operates efficiently, it’s important to regularly monitor fuel levels and schedule routine tank maintenance. We recommend having your tank inspected for any signs of damage or sediment buildup and using our blended fuel during colder months to prevent freezing and keep your system running smoothly.
