Home Heating Oil - Beware!!!

[Main Street]

i have a lock on the oil tank so i'm sure no one stole any of it. i

You have to put a lock on your heating oil tank?
Are there people who roam around in the night time  conspiring to syphon the fuel out of your oil tank?
True Diesel?

they roam around the day time as well main street doesn't have to be dark. i was talking to a lad who is building a house and they cleared out rads, hot tank , copper pipping the lot

That's definitely a cruel experience,  but a house under construction is one thing,  an occupied house in a neighbourhood is another - presumably with the heating oil tank in the back garden?

Not worth a damn - they just cut a hole in the tank and on they go.

Locks only keep honest people out, isn't that what they say.

For what you refer to as honest people, I'd say -  lazy dishonest people.

And then you need a new tank as well!!

think we are getting off the point. Its the delivery drivers not putting in the correct amount, rather than people actually coming and stealing the oil, once it is in.

Hold on a minute here. I have delivered oil and if you have the meter set up to legal standards it prints directly to the receipt how many litres were pumped.  No Oil is left in the hose. Once the correct amount of oil is pumped from the tank the valve shuts off but the pump continues to run until the hose is clear. There might be a litre maximum left in coating or whatever but by no means is there 25 litres in the hose.

If you are getting ripped off then go to a reputable dealer instead of trying to save pennies on the litre by going to a cowboy outfit.

Ask for their Weights and Measures certification.

Thats fair enough but there's nothing stopping the driver from pumping the
First 100 or whatever back into his tank before filling your tank....that way you
Get receipt for 900 but only get the 800, very easy to do at a house when no ones
Home.
Weights and measures keep a fairly close eye on dispensing meters and they'd be
fcuked if caught messing with the calibration.

Jeeze, where have you been?

[The Iceman]

And how would he pump it back into the tank please tell us?

The Fill connections are on the top of the tanker for one. Based on Weights and Measures Derv or Kero or whatever is being stored is recorded on the way in and the way out..... it would have to be some cowboy outfit to be at that craic.

Like I said before find a decent supplier. You get what you pay for.

I've a real bad f@#ker of a dog tied up at the oil tank. There has been a big problem with oil being stolen in our area and its true, they just drill a big hole in the side of your tank to run the oil out of it. Not only are you out a fill of oil but you have to buy a new tank as well.

I hope he eats the arses of them if they creep round my house.
