Diesel or Kerosene from gas station, then bleed the furnace.

Thanks. Turns out that won't be necessary (heat is back!!)

I kinda feel like even from the 70s on up this would apply to NH. I remember the NH cops all to well & they never fooled around.

I don’t think it will be cold enough to worry about the radiators freezing but you could always bleed them a bit to keep the water circulating if you’re concerned.

For sure new haven may have declined some depending on who you talk to but the amount of “things “ that has come from NH over time is incredible!

I ran out of oil once. They explained that as the last ounces are used, it can suck the accumulated silt and debris from the bottom of the tank into the filter, which needs to be removed and flushed before service can be restored.

You may also be able sign a contract to have them regularly top the tank off so you never have to worry about catching it before you run out again.

Ill keep looking for places for you that seem stable to me keep your spirits up

Unless you like a 40 minute walk on sidewalks covered with broken glass to go visit food trucks that are near some watery rocks and mud

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.........

Thank you! I hope we don't get there. Is there anything similar you can do for water in the radiator system?

There will be a fill spout along one of the sides of the house. You can wait till the tech gets there to pour it in if you are unsure where it is. I'm sure he can direct you. I'd have the diesel on hand though.

If you don't have any experience with the furnace, I wouldn't recommend messing with it yourself.

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.

Thank you! Did you have to do anything with the bleeder valve when this happened to you? Also, how do you get the diesel into the tank? I don't have any empty holes on the top of the tank, not even one with a square-socket plug. I could try a wrench on the gauge, or try via the mail fill line outside...

Thank you, doing that now!

Thanks. I have two sweatshirts on and a space heater going near me. :)

Swansons auto shop?? I will definitely stop in.

Until you get the heat going again, also consider keeping a small amount of water running through a few of the taps. That will help prevent the pipes from freezing.

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.

Bundle up and get some electric space heaters. Be safe with the space heaters.

I once heard somewhere that you can use diesel from a gas station when you’re in need like this. Look into it, and hope you get it all sorted out!

I've been there as well. Diesel is the same without the dye.

This person is seemingly going out of their way to help someone unprompted. We should have empathy and respect for whatever boundaries they wish to draw

Godspeed

Sound or sea, we're completely cut off from the water by the interstates. Apparently we used to have a massive park on the water in wooster sq.

It’s not just that. It’s that nothing in New Haven really happens on the water.
