Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fuel oil additive?

Fuel oil additives are chemical compounds engineered to help remove debris, particles, and water from your fuel system. They come in four main types, including biocides, stabilizers, line and oil gun cleaners, and water controllers. These chemical additives can be poured into your fuel to allow for a cleaner burn that promotes longevity and avoids the need for expensive repairs. While you might not see the benefits of a fuel oil treatment in your utility bills immediately, your system is less likely to break down when the correct additive is used.

Is oil tank treatment necessary?

Yes. It is recommended to add an annual additive (generally in the summer) to your oil in order to help break up sludge and sediment within your tank. The right fuel oil treatment can also reduce the presence of paraffin wax crystals in tanks that are stored in uninsulated areas, like the backyard or in the garage. This will keep your system from breaking or failing during the winter.
