Reply to comment by [deleted] in Best heating oil company to use? We need kerosene but can't afford $7/ gallon at the company we called. New to this type of heating and kinda struggling to figure this out. Company says minimum of 100 gallon order. Our tank is 275g . 275x7= omg in gonna freeze to death. by [deleted]

Combining kerosene and heating oil can be very dangerous because they have different ignition temperatures and different outputs during burning. These factors can lead to fires and excessive fumes. Because of this, carbon monoxide alarms often sound when the two are mixed together in a heating system.

That's not true, oil companies used to offer blended fuels right out of delivery trucks specifically for outdoor tanks like for manufactured homes

this. I ran one of the largest fuel dealers in northern VT for years - 50/50 mix is rare, but 80/20 is not.

Maybe prefix your statement with ‘the company told me… ‘ rather than trying to post like it is fact then.

Just trying to stop people spreading misinformation that’s all mate. There is already enough confusion on this thread for some. It’s all good.

The oil company I called gave me misinformation I guess. Must be a new employee 🤷♂️
