You should always request a delivery before your tank gauge drops below ¼ full. A tank gauge reads just like your car’s gas gauge: Full, ¾, ½, ¼, and Empty. You can find the small circular glass or plastic gauge on the top or side of your oil tank. Be sure to check it frequently and place an oil order before the bottom of your gauge reaches the ¼ marker.
