was i done.....

feck sake lads

can someone tell me this when you get home heating oil delivered how do you know the guy hasn't done you when you have no way of measureing the amount he just poured into your empty tank:eek:
the reason i ask i got 250 euro worth today and honest to god he was no more than 20 seconds here.maybe i'm been paranoid but it was like money disappearing down a big hole in jig time :mad:
is there a button on his lorry that give you the amount you paid for.
like does any customer ever check it out i doubt it very much.

Well if the tank is empty you could use a dipstick. His truck should be capable of showing how much fuel he dispensed.

If I had a dip stick;)

whelan1

open your tank... use the handle of a brush or mop to see how much oil is in the tank, i assume €250 is about 270 litres

:Dtrue true BUT 250 smackaroos at this moment is like a million quid and to see it disappear in a nano second is soul destroying:o

My oil delivery man gives me a 'before & after' printout of the delivery.If i am there when the delivery is been made he also go's out of his way to show me the dials and re-sets them in front of me before he starts pumping his juice

Please Kill Me

Bear in mind, them hoses dispense the oil/kero at something like 10 litres a second. I thought the same too, but had a look at the truck's counter when he delivered the last time and was checking the rate at which the oil was coming out too. It's savage.

feck sake lads

oh yeah got the receipt ok with the amound delievered and everything seems spot on . but wouldn't you think they would take there time and not be in such a rush .
let the juice pour slow ffs let me hold on to my 250 euro for just a few more minutes.

off topic a bit, are we not talking about oil and not some fella pumping "his juice" on you?

Be careful out there Andy & try not to miss the joke when it's going

Most domestic oil tanks are 1000 Litres. Sometimes there's a sticker on the side of the tank indicating capacity. Check level with a brush handle prior to a fill and after. I wouldn't just rely on a usually illegible receipt.;)
