Warranty
The OilHeat Manufacturers' Association supports the use of low sulfur fuels as defined by ASTM D396, Grades Number 1 Low Sulfur and Number 2 Low
Sulfur, as the preferred heating fuel for the following reasons:
•
Low sulfur fuels reduce deposits on heat exchanger surfaces, extending the service interval between cleanings.
• The reduced deposits increase the efficiency of the appliance.
• Low sulfur fuels reduce particulate emissions.
• Low sulfur fuels reduce oxides of nitrogen emissions.
