Deliveries

Fuel Saver Direct has on occassion delivered heating oil to some very unusual locations. With our acquired knowledge and expertise we believe that we can deliver heating oil to most locations should you not find the answer you require below, feel free to call our friendly team with any delivery based query.

 

• Question 01

  Read answer Hide answer Do I have to be at home for you to deliver my oil?

  If our driver can gain access to the heating oil tank safely then he will do his utmost to deliver your heating oil. If there are special circumstances regarding the delivery we will do our best. If you have any doubt please ask when you place your order.

• Question 02

  Read answer Hide answer How do I know how much oil was delivered?

  All our heating oil deliveries are made through the meter on the lorry. All meters are set, sealed, and checked by Trading Standards. The delivery ticket will have recorded on it the appropriate meter readings.

• Question 03

  Read answer Hide answer How far can an oil tank be from the delivery?

  The heating oil tank should be no further than 150 feet from the position where the delivery tanker is expected to park. 

  Unfortunately we cannot fill a tank if the delivery hose cannot reach it.

  If you would like a driver to assess your the tank location then please do not hesitate to call.

• Question 04

  Read answer Hide answer Can you take the delivery hose through my house?

  Unfortunately a heating oil tank that needs to be accessed by taking the hose through a residential space, is not considered safe and our insurance prevents us from undertaking a delivery of this type.

   

• Question 05

  Read answer Hide answer Can You Deliver to an Underground, or Non Standard, Tank?

  All our drivers are trained to make checks prior to starting a delivery. If, during these checks, the receiving tank is found to be unsafe, not fit for purpose, or does not meet the statutory requirements, then a delivery cannot be made.

• Question 06

  Read answer Hide answer My tank is not directly accessible. Can you deliver using an offset filler point?

  If a driver cannot inspect the tank and gauge, nor see what is going on at the tank when he is delivering, then he cannot make a delivery safely. He would have to decline such a delivery. 

• Question 07

  Read answer Hide answer Can you deliver less than 500 litres?

  The smallest order you can place is 500 litres. The meter on the delivery tanker will record and print the volume of fuel delivered to your tank.
