Kerosene Heating Oil

Kerosene heating oil is a clear, thin hydrocarbon liquid derived from crude oil, which is used for home heating due to its clean burn, energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. With a lower freezing point and higher viscosity than other household fuels, it performs particularly well during the colder months, making it a reliable option for your year-round fuelling needs.  

Kerosene is one of the most popular fuels for household heating and already fuels 1.5 million homes in the UK. For more than 65 years, we’ve been proud to supply households across the UK with this effective heating oil. 

Premium Kerosene Heating Oil

Our Premium Kerosene is treated with specialist additives that enhance performance, improve fuel efficiency, reduce carbon deposits and support the health and longevity of your boiler. **

_{** Improved fuel economy compared to standard kerosene based on our supplier's own laboratory testing. Actual benefits may vary due to factors including weather, temperatures, equipment maintenance & condition.}

Register and order on the myWatson app, available 24/7 365 days a year. This is available as a desktop portal or mobile app (Android and Apple).

1. First check the label on your tank if it has one, as this will tell you your tank’s capacity in litres. Most domestic heating oil tanks hold between 1,000 and 2,700 litres. If you don’t have a label on your tank, look for the make/model number, which can help you find out the capacity.

2. If your tank has a gauge, it could be either a sight gauge or a float gauge.

A sight gauge is a transparent tube, usually on the outside of your tank. Some sight gauges require a manual ‘pull’ to provide an accurate reading.

A float gauge usually has a clock-like dial on the outside and uses an internal arm with a float to indicate the level of fuel in your tank.

Some tanks are fitted with an electronic gauge that feeds real-time fuel levels to your mobile device/laptop. These can be fitted retrospectively to help you keep on top of your fuel levels. Our Tankscout device keeps track of how much fuel you have in your tank. When your fuel drops below a level you set, Tankscout can automatically place an order for your next delivery.

3. It is usually best to order a quantity of fuel to fill your heating oil tank to a maximum of 90% capacity to avoid over-filling it. Most heating oil suppliers will not take orders below 500 litres.

4. Our helpful advisers can help you decide the correct quantity to order. Call us on 0333 070 5656.

Our Tankscout fuel monitoring device is a stress-free way of managing your heating. Tankscout will tell you how much fuel is in your tank, and when your fuel drops below your specified trigger level, we can automatically raise an order for your next delivery. Find out more about Tankscout today.
