fuel oil heater uses #1 or #2 fuel oil, also can use gas turbine fuel oil, and
diesel off road #1 or #2. The oil tank has water in it. I use diesel off road fuel oil. Can i use an automobile fuel tank water absorber additive? Beckett, the oil heater maker, when I asked told me to ask my fuel oil supplier, he said dont worry about it.

I want to worry about it. I emptied the tank and wont use it again until late next year. There is some diesel residue left in the tank along with the water. Can i just pour in one of those bottles from the auto parts store? Then when I fill it up next year, I will add a few more bottles, since most gas tanks are smaller then 55 gallons.

Two issues here. 1-is this additive ok for the oil burner. 2-Is adding a full bottle to an almost empty tank ok?


thanks,
