out the remainder, and reselling it. Then clean the
tank, and fill it up with Number 2 fuel oil. Then
disconnect the heater for the Number 6 fuel oil, set
up the fuel pump to run only when the burner is
running, and change the burner nozzle and replace
the fuel filter.
Another approach is a ���filter flush,��� Philbrick
said. The Number 6 fuel oil is pumped out as much
as possible, and then a solvent like Number 2 is
added. Number 2 fuel oil is an effective solvent
for Number 6 fuel oil, Philbrick said. The tank is
continually flushed and filtered with Number 2,
breaking down the Number 6. The tank is then
pumped out and refilled, Philbrick said.
Clean Fuels��� customers include St. Paul���s
School, a prep school in Concord, N.H., Philbrick
said. ���They have 7,000 gallons of Number six
oil,��� he said of the school. ���We���re going to sell
that for them,��� Philbrick said. Proceeds from the
sale will go to purchase Number 2 fuel oil for the
school and to pay for Clean Fuels��� service,
Philbrick said. l F ON
