Oil fired boiler and additives?

[Coddey]

I'm new to oil fired boilers.

The first time I topped up my oil tank, I had the supplier organise the additive. From now on, I will buy my own additives. Is there any particular type the oil engineers on the forum would recommend? Heating only, no aga ect.

First question do you need additives?
Fuel degradation? Unless you have a huge tank your going to use it before it degrades.
Stop sludge in oil lines ? Decent filter on tank regularly serviced sorts that.
Oil freezing/gelling kero freezes at minus 39 C .
There could be some argument for addative that helps lubricate pump.
I would say find yourself a competent oil engineer get them to look after your boiler tank etc and follow there advice.
