Fuel oil shelf-life?
What is the shelf-life for fuel oil? I have several hundred gal. in a tank, indoors, that is 5-7 years old. Is it safe to use in my oil fired boiler?
Thanks.

It should be fine yet. It may require an extra filter change or nozzle change before it is all used up but that is a small price to pay considering the current cost of fuel. I took posession of 250 gallons of oil in a tank that had been sitting for almost 20 years and put it in my tank at our shop. It required a FEW filter changes before it was gone but it all burned.
