deisel works in a pinch.

Oil co told me last week my tank was rusting and they wouldn't deliver to me anymore. It was a tiny rust spot with a booger sized drip of crusted oil that was visible.

Now we are converting to gas since a new oil tank would be up to 5g.

Up to five grand?! Good grief. How big of a tank do/did you have? Was your boiler/furnace on its last legs as well? Replacing that component can't be cheap either.

we already have gas in the room so conversion will be relatively easy.

5g for a new tank was the estimate from the corporate oil company that we use and had a service plan through. Got some quotes for a bit less but while doing this it is a good opportunity to switch.

our boiler is a weil mclain its not new but works great may have some value on fb marketplace not sure yet.

we got a good price on a viessman high efficiency combi boiler and to remove tank so going that route.........
