Portable heaters to beat the chill

As the temperature drops, working in an unheated space becomes very difficult. Holden Oil has construction heaters in stock to help spread the warmth and increase your comfort. In our Peabody office, we have propane torpedo style L.B. White heaters in stock. We also have convection style salamander heaters that require no electricity.

If you already have a heater, we always have a large assortment of portable propane cylinders- from the common 20 pound grill size cylinder to to the larger 40, 50 and 60 pound cylinders. Our propane refill station is open six days a week in the winter to help keep you warm.

Diesel Fuel for the cold weather

Not all diesel fuel is created equal. As we get into the cold weather, the differences become even more apparent. Water is the bane of any fuel. As the temperature changes, condensation forms on the inside of fuel tanks, both vehicle and storage. In situations where the fuel turns over slowly, water can build up over time. It is important to drain water separators on fuel filters and and to make sure there is no water build up in the bottom of storage tanks. The cold filter plugging point of diesel fuel is one of the most important indicators of winter operability. Diesel with a lower cold filter plugging point is more expensive but it is very important if you want your trucks to run on those cold days.

Holden Oil sells only premium diesel- diesel with additives to insure stability and needed lubricity needed in today's engines with Ultra low sulfur fuel. Our storage tank turns over DAILY. We also buy diesel fuel that has a cold filter plugging point lower than what is predicted in the near future- as of today we are using diesel with a cold filter plugging point of 5 degrees F. By paying attention to these details, you can have confidence you are getting a quality product at a competitive price.
