Default Water in oil tanks

Go to a truckers repairshop, they should have diesel stabilizer and
treatments that you can use. Diesel is identical or very close to fuel oil
depending on region.


I'll second that. Even Dri-Gas will do the trick.

If your tanks are in the basement, I wouldn't worry too much about getting
water in them. Sure, over the years you may get condensation, but it
wouldn't be much. Do you have a way of "sticking" (measuring) the tank? They
make a water paste that you smear on the end of a stick and will change
colors if water is present.

Still can't believe an oil company doesn't have any type of additive.....

I've seen fuel oil treatment at plumbing supply houses.
