Reply to Best heating oil company to use? We need kerosene but can't afford $7/ gallon at the company we called. New to this type of heating and kinda struggling to figure this out. Company says minimum of 100 gallon order. Our tank is 275g . 275x7= omg in gonna freeze to death. by [deleted]

Listen guys. I get the whole smart ass comments I make them too here and there its great to have a sense of humor but I'm not stupid ok? It's just I've always lived in basic rustic camps that are not like your typical fancy homes. I enjoy off grid living and it's peacefulness. That is why I'm asking these questions because having this oil heating system is fancy to me and new.

I own my tanks on homestead and was told by one company that since tank is outdoors I am required to run kerosene.

I'm from Alaska. We heat differently and cold is no new thing to me. Kinda hard prepping for winter when you been living in your truck saving for a home and finally get one in winter and work 10 hr days 7 days a week . You response was kind of condescending but hey, you do you bud 👍

It's only $7 a gallon IF you buy more than 125 gallons otherwise it's closer to your mentioned price. The minimum is 100 gallons which is all I can possibly afford

(Copy and paste)

Combining kerosene and heating oil can be very dangerous because they have different ignition temperatures and different outputs during burning. These factors can lead to fires and excessive fumes. Because of this, carbon monoxide alarms often sound when the two are mixed together in a heating system.

Maybe you should learn to read better because that is not what the bank post was about. Maybe someone passed on their words of wisdom onto you as judgement and you've learned how to spell them out but still haven't accepted you need change so you pass them on hoping your self hatred doesn't continue to show?

These are the answers that help me understand. I had a hard time finding a decent job and well took whatever I could so I could pay bills and buy food. I don't think my post translated well and reads like I'm poking fun at people as a whole. Guess I'm just a dummy and need to use bigger and better words 🤷‍♂️. It's just that I've seen 11 people come and go within months so maybe they continued to look for other jobs rather than focus on doing the one they have. Maybe I should look at other options and see what's out there.
