Whistle???????

I have lived in several houses with oil heat, and never heard a
whistle...... I just had a fill guage in the tank center, and a 2
inch fill pipe, and 1 inch vent pipe. I was in WI.
Is this something local to your area? What state?


Funny you should ask that. I've lived in this house for almost 15 years &
never thought my oil tank might have a whistle. I had the same thing in my
head when I had my oil tank filled yesterday. As I'm standing there, sure
enough, the oil tank was whistling. So I asked the truck driver why the
oil tank had a whistle. When the whistle stops, the tank is full. It's to
prevent overflows. Learn something new everyday.
