Oil Dip
How much heating oil is in your tank?
Checking how much oil you have left in your tank is easy.
• Look inside (with a torch if necessary)
• Dip a bamboo stick in it
• Take a piece of string just slightly longer than the height of your oil tank. Put one end through a tennis ball and tie something such as a piece of coloured cloth, to the other end. Drop the tennis ball in to your oil tank, where it will float, but leave the cloth end on the outside of the oil tank. The cloth will appear higher up with less oil in the tank as the tennis ball floats downwards (and lower down when the oil tank is full with the tennis ball floating near the top).
Checking is easy – just like checking a smoke alarm is easy, you just press a button. So why so many television adverts about checking your smoke alarm?
Remembering to check is the trick. Being bothered enough to check when you do remember – that’s the cumbersome part that may result in a cold house, disgruntled family and even an air locked tank. If you’ve had to incur the cost of emergency oil or emergency deliveries (as well as an air locked tank) then its time to consider a more cost effective, hassle free and family friendly solution.
Heating Oil Monitors are by far the easiest option. You get to have an alarm warn you from the comfort of your home that its time to visit us and avoid all the panic and cost involved with running out of oil. These devices use ultrasound now so there aren't different devices for different tanks or long bars you have to insert into the tank. You get a 10 bar indicator to let you know just how full your tank is.
The sensor shown below is for an Apollo Ultrasonic and just plugs into your wall.
If you are concerned about heating oil theft, you might also want to consider the new Watchman Alarm
