Theft of heating oilÂ
Tips To Minimise Running Out Of Kerosene
Running out of heating oil in the summer is often not a significant cause for concern, as you may go for a short period without hot water. However, this same problem during the winter months often results in the loss of heating which can be problematic.
Here is how to minimise running out of heating oil:
Make sure you have run out
It is always important to double-check before ordering more. Sometimes your tank may have a mechanical fault causing problems with the flow of heating oil getting to your heating system.
Keep your rooms insulated
Wasting fuel is the easiest way to run out of fuel. Make sure that you are keeping the heat in the house. Always check windows are closed, draughts are covered, and room doors are shut.
Alternative heating methods
We understand that not everyone will have electric heaters, blankets or wood fires. However, if you do, they are great, especially at protecting vulnerable people dependent on heating oil.
Order more heating oil
Once you have exhausted all other options, the simplest solution is to  order from your local depot, which will arrive within 48 hours.
Things To Consider If You Run Out Of Heating Oil
You may now need to bleed your heating system to remove air pockets and get your central heating system back up and running.
Get in touch if you have any questions or need help.
Most modern boiler systems are designed to turn off when you run out of heating oil. But empty tanks often run the added risk of allowing dirt into the tank filter and pipelines.
You may require a tank engineer to perform tank maintenance or cleaning services before use. Oilfast has partnered up with professional  OFTEC  accredited and fully insured tank engineers for all types of oil tank work.
