HeatingOil.com Profiles: Hart Petroleum

For the second installment of our Profiles series, we are pleased to introduce you to Hart Petroleum of New Hyde Park, Long Island, New York.

Hart Petroleum and its President, Ray Hart, stand out in the heating oil industry as one of a handful of pioneers in the adoption of biofuel as a component of home heating oil. The use of biofuel is rapidly expanding in the heating oil industry—a trend that HeatingOil.com has been covering since its launch seven months ago http://www.heatingoil.com/category/blog/biofuels/—and many influential figures have referred to it as no less than the future of the industry http://www.heatingoil.com/articles/heating-oil/heating-oil-industry-movers-ic....

Hart Petroleum not only sells Bioheat (a blend of biofuel and traditional, petroleum-based no. 2 fuel oil) to wholesale and retail customers, but also purchases biofuel feedstock and performs the sophisticated blending process on-site.

This video is not only a profile of a respected and successful heating oil dealer, but also a fascinating glimpse at the evolution of the heating oil industry into a provider of cleaner, greener heating fuel.

Miamad, that's also untrue. Industry experts have found that as long as you are using 20%biofuel or less, there is no need for any change to your existing system, and even at higher percentage blends, the only thing that needs to be monitored regularly is the seals on the system.

The tax rebates and added benefit of reducing pollution is a great savings over traditional no #2.

I don't think it is ridiculous at all. This biofuel uses waste grease and tallows that otherwise would clog our waste disposal systems, burns more cleanly, and provides a cost savings to the user via a New York State tax credit. It is difficult to see how any of that is ridiculous.

if my Mommy and Daddy won the lottery I would also have 10k barrels too. Its nice to have a silver spoon in your mouth.

biofuel is ridiculous. You made the wrong decision.
