Heating Oil Delivery and Usage Log

A free printable heating oil log — delivery dates, quantity, unit price and total, with tank readings before and after and usage between deliveries.

First page of the Heating Oil Delivery and Usage Log — Track what goes into the tank and what comes out of it, so a short delivery, a leak or a bad month shows up as a number instead of a suspicion.

What this sheet is for

Track what goes into the tank and what comes out of it, so a short delivery, a leak or a bad month shows up as a number instead of a suspicion.

Who it is for

Households and landlords on oil or kerosene heating, and anyone sharing a tank or reselling fuel between properties.

How to use it

  1. Read the tank gauge immediately before and immediately after every delivery.
  2. Record the quantity, the unit price and the total, in whatever unit you are billed in.
  3. Work out the usage since the previous delivery and write it in.
  4. Keep the delivery notes with the sheet — the reading and the note together are the evidence if a quantity is ever queried.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Deliveries and usage for a heating oil or kerosene tank — what was delivered, what it cost, and what the tank read before and after, so you can see how much you actually get through.

How to use this sheet

  1. Read the tank gauge just before the tanker arrives and again once it has finished — those two numbers are what make the rest of the sheet useful.
  2. Record the unit price as well as the total. It is the only way to compare one supplier or one month against another.
  3. Work out the usage since the last delivery and write it in — a jump you cannot explain is worth investigating.

Questions

Why record the tank reading as well as the quantity delivered?

Because the two do not always agree. The gauge reading before and after is the only check you have on what actually went in, and it is also what lets you work out consumption between deliveries.

My gauge is not very accurate. Is it still worth it?

Yes — consistency matters more than precision here. The same imperfect gauge read the same way each time still shows you a trend, and a sudden change in that trend is the thing worth noticing.
