    i have a rental in pa that i am no longer heating with oil. it was cheaper to install electric heat and the tenants are responsible for it. so that works out for me no more oil fills and running out but i have a furnace with 1100 dollars of oil that i have no idea what to do with.

    Surely someone in that area would take it off your hands for a somewhat discounted price.

    What does heating oil sell for up there?

    That reminds me, I need to go out tomorrow and get some.

    That's like 2 oil tanks full....certainly worth recovering. If I live nearby I'll get a pump and a couple of barrels and be right over....;)

    Where i live here, anything can be a tanker truck. You’d have a family show up with empty water jugs, all stacked up on a home built single axis trailer with non-matching wheels and rotten boards. Towed by a 97 impala with dull headlights and clear coat faded so much, basically missing.


    Oh wait. What was the oil for again? Heater?

    Nevermind.

    But some kid would prolly roll coal with it that you don’t see the big cummins sticker no more

    Too bad you're not closer, my brother and I buy fuel oil off Craigslist all the time. Usually for a $1 gal, with us bringing the pump out equipment and 55 gal drums.

    From doing this several times, I have found that the homeowners have contacted the place they bought the fuel oil from but the companies don't want it back. They have no idea of the condition of the tanks it's coming from and if there's water/gel in it, even if they say it's ok they will charge the homeowners to pump it out
    Most people run the tank down as far as they can before making the cut over to propane, NG or electric.
