My cottage is oil heated. So is my 'Bota, .

I have a second 250 gallon heating oil tank in the garage that I get filled every spring with off-road diesel, what I don't burn in the 'Bota or one of the other diesel toys (full-size TLB, etc.) gets pumped into the furnace tank.

The fuel is never more than one year old and even them it gets a good dose of additives.

Ken, if you use 100 gallons a year for the CUT you could try the same idea, I imagine most of your outages are at the same time of year, winter. If you got the tank filled just befrore the bad weather season you would be all set.

What most fuel oil distributors WONT tell you is that the trucks pump OUT as well as into your tank. If you speak nicely they will usually pump your left-overs up into the truck and refill you with the newly 'blended' stuff. They usually do this when the truck is full so the ratio of 'old' to 'new' fuel is pretty low, nobody could ever detect the difference.

Best of luck.
