Anybody need 57,000 gallons of heavy heating oil?
It's in a tank in Cedar City, Utah.

I have no idea whether this stuff can be doctored down enough to burn in our trucks, but here is an auction for the stuff:

Actually I think it is a Dutch auction, which means you can buy 1 gallon or 1,000 gallons or any amount you want. Bidding starts at $1 per gallon.

 

I burned a lot of very old heating oil in my 1st gen. Ran just fine. It's better than running straight lube oil, and I've run my share of that too.

 

The pour point is 90F or higher.
Sounds like #3 bunker oil, the stuff is like tar at room temp.
It's usually heated before use.
You could probably cut it with #2 to thin it out.

I personally wouldn't want to mess with it even if it was free.

 

Free can be expensive.
