Default Oil tank - how low to go

My oil tank holds 275 gallons and feeds from the bottom. Every year I
add a gallon of diesel conditioner. I would like to delay my next fill
until April 1st so I don't have to shovel a path for the oil man. I
estimate that there will still be about 40 gallons left in the tank by
then. Is this safe to do?

When you say "feeds from the bottom" do you mean that the pipe comes off
of a tap on the bottom of the tank? Why are you adding conditioner?
