    Long story here. Sat. oil delivery for my factory building never showed. Used 20 gals. diesel to restart, froze up overnite. had to shut sprinklers, h20 supply. no heat 12000 sq. ft. Sat til 11AM today. The magic potion AMSOIL Diesel Recovery, had burners up in 15 mins. Confirmed rumor that the Braintree oil depot froze up Sat-Sun, causing further problems for both oil cos. and homeowners. what a stress filled weekend. so far have lost only one sprinkler head, thank God. have a day folks

    That's bad, missed oil delivery on the weekend. Maybe they are giving home deliveries priority. This thaw can't come fast enough.

    Unfortunately it’s hard to find places who sell HHO or off road diesel at the pump... I know in your case it would have many trips back and forth to get amount you needed but to have it as an option would make things easier for people... Kind of like the old days when you could borrow a gas can from the gas station to fill your car when you ran out of gas, it would be nice if places would loan 5 gallon cans so people could get a few gallons to tide them over until the truck comes or they can afford to make the minimum purchase... have been seeing a lot more fuel trucks (HHO and propane) on the road than usual lately. Glad it wasn’t that bad for you...
