💡 Why do fuel tankers have more than one compartment?

Fuel tankers are divided into separate compartments so they can safely carry different fuel types in the same journey while keeping each product completely separate.

This allows deliveries to be completed more efficiently and ensures customers receive exactly the fuel they've ordered.

It's a simple piece of engineering that plays an important role in everyday fuel distribution.

❓ Do I need to be at home when my heating oil is delivered?

It's one of the questions we're asked most often.

In many cases, as long as your heating oil tank is accessible and it's safe for our driver to carry out the delivery, you don't need to be at home.

If you're unsure whether your property can be accessed or have any questions before your delivery, our team will be happy to help.
