Smart Oil Tank Gauge

Originally published May, 2017

Great news for customers who call to order their oil who are concerned about the amount of oil they have left in their tank! There is a new product that we plan to sell and install that will allow you to monitor your oil tank and send reminders wirelessly to your phone or other device.
 
This product is called the Smart Oil Gauge and is made by Connected Consumer Fuel, LLC. The Smart Oil Gauge uses an ultrasonic sensor to measure the level of oil in your tank throughout the day and transmits this information over your home’s Wi-Fi network. You can check the level of oil in your tank from any smartphone, tablet or PC from anywhere in the world.
 
It is important to note that you must have the following things in order to have the Smart Oil Gauge installed:
 

• Wi-Fi network in your home that can pick up signals from the Smart Oil Gauge in your cellar. You must also have a smartphone, tablet or PC.
• Steel oil tank. This product does not yet work with Roth oil tanks, although they are working on a solution for owners of Roth double-wall tanks.
• A spare two-inch opening on top of your oil tank in which to install the Smart Oil Gauge. It is possible to install this device in place of your current oil gauge if it is in a two-inch opening and is not part of a combination vent alarm/gauge.

 
Crowley Fuel is currently taking orders for these units to be delivered and/or installed in the summer of 2017. The cost for each Smart Oil Gauge is $169 plus tax. These gauges can be installed by the homeowner with a pipe wrench and joint compound, or customers can call us for an estimate to have our technicians do the installation. For most accessible oil tanks, the fee would be $80.
 
Please call or email our office to see if a Smart Oil Gauge is right for you!
