oil and water don't mix.

rmdi feel bad for my downstairs tenant -- it looks like the vent cap on his oil tank rotted thru a bit or was tilted wrong or otherwise something happened with it and water got into the oil tank.
and you know what they say about oil and water.
so, since water is denser than diesel fuel, it sinks to the bottom and mucks things up and they have to drain the water out and usually replace the nozzle on it and you end up with no heat while this happens.
and if you're (un)lucky, the water is scattered enough along the bottom of the tank that you have to do this several times. in this case, twice. hopefully this did it all, but there's a small chance his heat will wedge again. harrumf. at least the weather isn't too cold yet.
