Bringing the oil to the lake !

FYI, I've been using Fred Fuller for 2 years now, and very happy with their service and pricing.

I was amazed when I spoke to my local oil supplier here about the amount of oil they use in a week and they are much smaller than Fuller. Those tankers were probably a very small portion of the weekly oil delivered by Fuller, like I said, I was amazed.

I have tenant in Plymouth who ran out of oil last night around dinner time. Dead River promised a delivery a couple of weeks ago and they never came. Calls to the office results in 'We will be there soon.'

Off to Irving for diesel fuel last night. Those containers are heavy!

Am I correct to assume Dead River is not part of Fred Fuller? I wonder if it is supply related to some extent.

I switched from Irving because they wouldn't deliver my oil a few years ago. I called them and told me I was almost empty and they insisted I wasn't. They said I couldn't be and if they made a special delivery and it was under so many gallons they would charge delivery or something like that. We were on automatic delivery. They let me run out more than once so I learned to watch the tank. After the last time when I was begging for a delivery and after quite a few calls, I had had enough. When they had a local office in Ossipee they were fine, but when that all moved to Canada forget it. We do have a big house and do burn a lot of oil and they just couldn't believe we burned what we did. This year we had 4 deliveries in Dec. ($1500). Only one of the reasons I hate the cold.

I bought an 'OEM Rocket' and installed on my oil tank several years ago.

Inexpensive, accurate, and simple to install.

My 275 gallon oil tank is housed outside of the main house in an attached shed. I can check the oil level without leaving the comfort and warmth of my home, and the electronic technology is definitely more accurate that those mechanical oil gauges used on most tanks.

You can always measure the amount of oil in your tank with tape-measure and use this guide. Tape-measure must touch bottom of tank.

Also a handy link to check oil prices in central NH, but you can select for your area as well:

Interesting Fred Fuller isn't listed here?

Hope this helps everyone.....

Just as an update, Fuller came to my house this AM and topped off our tanks with just under 400 gallons.

A good friend of mine is still waiting for her delivery. She was the one that called several places listed above and they will not deliver. Her husband I believe is in has 70's has quite the workout lately hauling diesel by hand.

Arrived at our home in Meredith late Friday, Jan. 10th, only to discover that our oil tank was low (1/8th). Called Fuller Oil & they delivered by Saturday at noon even with all of the icy roads. Excellent service.

but how about a little sexual harrassment to keep you warm?

I called them Friday and asked when they could delivery to Center Harbor and was told Monday. waited all day and no oil, called them at 5pm and after some checking they said I called on Saturday and canceled (which I didn't) and it would be 2 days before they could get out here. We'll see ?
