Reply to comment by Synapse82 in Why is heating oil more expensive than diesel fuel in CT? by Hppycmpr1

LOL that’s bullshit. I’m in the trade. The only additives they put in is an anticoagulant and it actually makes it burn slightly worse, however it can go into lower temperatures before it starts to gel up.

Interesting, they sold it as “BioHeat Heating Oil” which was less sulfur and an additive like Lucus tuneup in a bottle.

Doesn’t surprise me, my oil tank is like 60 years old so it wouldn’t matter anyway. But that was their justification for the higher oil prices

Bio heating oil is different. It’s made by blending ultra-low sulfur heating oil with biodiesel which is made from soy, other vegetable oils, animal fats, recycled restaurant oils and other recycled grease sources.
