Oil furnaces come with data plates that identify the furnace’s heating capacity and detail how many gallons of fuel oil the furnace is designed to burn during each hour of use. We can use this information to determine how much fuel oil you’re likely to need.
S-class, or service-class, lubrication oils are designed specifically for automobiles, trucks, and other vehicles that operate using gasoline engines. These oils provide both lubrication and protection to moving parts, ensuring that your engine will last much longer.
Did you know that the word “petroleum” comes from Greek? “Petra” means rock while “elaion” means oil. German mineralogist Georg Bauer originally founded the term, petroleum, in the 10th century.
Fuel oil is one of the safest ways to heat your home or work place. It is non-explosive, in fact it will not even burn in a liquid state which is unlike other heating sources that can burst into flames.
If there is a threat of power outages in your area, hand fired coal stoves are a hedge against this loss. Batch fed stoves do not require electricity to operate and will provide heat and cooking capabilities regardless of the availability of other types of power.
Did you know that in many circles the twentieth century has been called the “hydrocarbon century”? This is because the availability of the relatively cheap and highly efficient energy supply we know as petroleum, which has driven substantial changes in all areas of human society.
Leaded fuel production has not been completely shut down. It is available for cars racing on circuit tracks; however, their engines must be modified to use it. Using leaded fuel in engines designed for unleaded will foul the oxygen sensors and sparkplugs.
While boat engines might seem like they’re similar to car engines, they’re engineered to run in a different environment. That means that they will always work better with specially-made marine lubricant, and an oil supplier can help make sure you have enough.
Did you know that coal is one of the cheapest of all sources of energy? In fact, coal is less expensive than nuclear energy, natural gas, and oil. Economically, it is also a stable and reliable energy source that can be found in the U.S. as well as in a number of other countries.

Before you consider using biodiesel, let us assess your system. Not all burners and furnaces are designed to accommodate biodiesel, but most systems can be modified to handle it without too much difficulty.
If your vehicle’s engine is not designed specifically for ultra low sulfur diesel, you can still use it safely. It will not damage older diesel vehicles, or newer ultra-clean diesel engines. If you are not sure, check with your mechanic.
Multi-vehicle transmission fluid is for automatic transmissions and is made of a quality blend of additives and various high performance mineral base blends. Multi-vehicle transmission fluid is designed to provide transmission protection for a number of different types of vehicles.
No. 4 heating oil is comparable to diesel in the sense that it is very dirty and used in large engines and commercial heating systems. This type of heating oil is the least costly type.
Do you have a heavy truck diesel engine? Then you know the importance of good lubrication! That is why we offer only premium products, and low rates. We’ll have you wondering why you waited so long in the first place.
Did you know that not all heating oil is produced with the same quality? Quality heating oil which includes lower-sulfur heating oil will provide a higher level of fuel efficiency and can even improve the life of your home heating appliance.
Have you ever wondered who uses the most fuel? The top three places that import petroleum fuel is the United States, China, and Japan. Since these three places have a large population per capita, they need fuel to run their cars, machinery, transportation, and much, much more.
If your coal stove is hand-fired, you need a strong draft to maintain an efficient burn rate. Most automatic stokers have a fan that encourages efficient combustion and a clean burn, so this is less of an issue.
Two-stroke oil is also known as "two-cycle oil" or "2T oil." It's used for engines that only have two piston strokes in their cycle, as opposed to the normal four-stroke cycle engines found on cars. The oil has to be mixed in with the gasoline, so it's formulated differently.
Did you know that the Environmental Protection Agency says that modern oil burners are one of the cleanest combustion sources available? Oil produces almost zero emissions and the latest oil system technologies 're-burn' fuel, lowering emissions even further.
If your equipment receives service on a regular basis, then a synthetic lubricant may not be needed. Because the lubricant will be checked and changed according to a schedule, a lubricant that meets the basic requirements is all that is needed.
Non-ethanal recreation gasoline is an ethanol-free, 90 octane, unleaded gasoline blend designed for use in recreational and marine engines that may be damaged by the ethanol found in other gasoline blends.
So what exactly defines a high-quality lubricant when it comes to vehicles? Basically, the viscosity should be high-grade enough to adjust both to the temperature within the engine and the external climate factors that you happen to be driving through.
Did you know that the Australian Customs and Australian Tax Office define a bunker fuel as the fuel that powers the engine of a ship or aircraft?
