    Q:I have a 275 gal tank but will only take 250 gal of oil so I figured about 25 gallons of sludge how much should I use of the sludge mix should I use

    Answer This Question

    A:  I had a large slug problem in my 275 gal tank. My furnace guy told me to put in 32 oz. (1 qt.) and have the tank filled. On all the next fill ups put in 16 oz. (1 Pt.) Been doing this for a few years now and haven't had any problems.

      A:  The 25 Gallons could also be air at the top, because the delivery person is required to stop when the whistle stops, the whistle sticks down into the tank a bit (more than you might think). I suggest adding this product immediately before your oil delivery, and consider 275 gallons and 250 gallons to be nearly the same when considering how much to add. This makes the math easy, for your tank, use 1/4 of this bottle. Repeat that before each fill up.

          A:  they say 1 pt. for 275 gal.

            A:  I have a 275 gallon tank and I pour the entire bottle in before fill up. Seems to work great, oil filters and oil pump screen are much cleaner after a couple of years use

                  I purchased both the sludge and Hot burning…..
                  All it is is mineral spirits. I purchased both the sludge fighter and hot burning additive and they have the same ingredients…….sheesh!

                    The stuff works! Two years I had continuous problems of one kind or another and always had to be calling for help when my furnace would stop running. My kerosene tank used to be under my deck thus I never had any problems. Once we removed it and purchased a new tank we had it installed behind the house and then we noticed we started having problems due to the weather and the outside elements. Somehow water was getting into the tank. The oil company changed a few things and recommended I put this stuff in once a year. It worked! I will never go without it!

                    The product worked to de-clog our oil tanks. It did what we wanted it to do.

                          Put half a bottle into my 275gal tank about a week ago and tried to stir it up a bit. Just turned on my heat yesterday and the system's working. We'll see how it handles the first tank fill of the year in a few weeks.

                            Four years tested. It faults nozzles .
                            I original thought this product could make my heating oil system better with so many +. Tried it for 4 years: every time I added it into a full tank, in a week, nozzles started to go bad (CAD cell display reads go up), then the nozzle stops working in about 1 month. Tried brass and stainless nozzles, same thing. Added 3 spin on filters, same thing. Nothing looked dirty but nozzles failed quickly with this product added in. Without it for 2 years, nozzles still give the same O2 reading.
