With my wood boiler, wood stove and pellet stove I seldom use my oil
burner. Maybe if I go away for more than a day in the winter or if I
shut down the wood boiler to clean the tubes.
Going on 3 years now with a full tank of oil. How long will it last?
Is there an additive to extend it? At what point will I have to dump it
and replace it, a costly loss I want to avoid.

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.

You should never have to dump and replace it. Just burn it before too long.
Run it down some and add fresh. It does, however, have a very long life,
measured in years. Check with a dealer to see about additives though.

Contact BP. They'll dump it in the ocean for you.

Maybe I can just stick a wick in the Gulf to heat my home.

I'm a little amazed, there aren't scavengers out in the gulf,
scooping up the crude to sell.

The volitiles evaporate out pretty fast. What's left is not very
valuable.

I've harbored the suspesion for a while that bp didn't want to just
plug it. They want a solution that lets them collect it. What they
are doing now plus the relief wells theya re drilling allow that.
Otherwise why not just drill an adjacent hole down about 100 ft right
next to it and detonate a small explosive at the bottom of the new
hole. That would crush the well from the side.

Good point; where are the 'gleaners'?

Just hoping that the little bugs that might contaminate fuel and which
are the topic that started this thread are out there in the warm Gulf
of Mexico waiting to gobble up the gobs of goo. And hopefully???? in
five years time they will turn the muck back into something more
natural by bio-activity. :-)

About the only 'good' to come from this mess is, just maybe, to raise
further awareness to what we (Humans) are doing to this planet! No
way IMHO that nine billion (that's nine thousand million) of us, can
live the way are now doing so without permanent damage to the whole
ecosystem.

Oh yes Nature will 'adjust' but it might be to eliminate certain air
breathing upright two bi-pedal creatures who cannot live within what's
left. While the rats and cockroaches will flourish! To be preyed upon
in their turn by fleas and diseases etc. Still a 'natural' system but
very different!

I believe that the socialists who stole the US elections want the
disaster. Chance to rase taxes, and remove freedoms.
