I haven't bothered. It's a big job.
Is he right?
If so, what is the reason?


I think your delivery guy is trying to find a polite way of saying 'keep the
tank cleared'. Those hoses that they lug to keep you snuggly and warm are
quite heavy. If they have to *try* to walk thru snow that you haven't
shoveled or fill a tank that is buried in snow, a lot of times they end up
wasting time or hurt. My friend puts up with this type of crap all the time
and ends up at the chiropractor.
Do him a favor and clean it up!
