Oil Tanks??

Check your delivery ticket, the meter on the tanker is calibrated and tested regulaly, so you might find that the driver did not have enough oil on board for a full delivery and may have left you with 500 ltr instead of the more normal 900

The tanker driver should have left you with a delivery note that states the number of litres delivered. Have you got that? If not, phone the oil company straight away.

If you can measure the dimensions of your tank you can use maths (a calculator may help) to work out how much oil you have now and compare that to how much you supposedly had delivered. What you don't say and probably can not prove is how much was in there just before the delivery.

Easier to use metric measurement - 1 cubic metre (meter) is 1000 litres

The U.S. liquid gallon is 231 cubic inches or 3.785 litres

The Imperial (UK) gallon is 4.55 litres.

Work out how much you have in the tank now and compare it with the paperwork. If you need to call the supplier best to describe it as a mistake rather than a rip-off - they'll admit a mistake much more easily.

Good luck... Go figure...
