Take a yard stick, or a long, thin stick, insert it in the tank, then
measure the inches of oil left on the stick. The amount of oil depends

however, if the tank is under the residence, call us to fill it. Some

5. Does Morgan
Oil have automatic deliveries?
We have two automatic delivery plans and a call-in. Our first is called
a "degree day." For each degree that the temperature is below 65, this
is a "degree day." The colder the day, the more oil used. For example,
based on the size of the tank, a home can go 1,000 degree days before
needing filled. The other automatic delivery system is called "Julian
Day." This is where the customer picks a day or a set time, such as
every 90 days, every fifth of the month, etc., when their tank will be
filled. There is also the option of calling to order more oil when you
are out.
