PepUp fuels local agriculture. We know a lot of farmers who grow high-quality grain crops in this high-humidity environment. From planting to harvest and grain drying, local producers use fuels from PepUp to power farming operations.

Grains like corn, wheat, and soybeans are often harvested when their moisture levels are higher than desired. For safe storage, it is recommended that grains should be dried to a moisture content of 13-15%. If they are stored without drying, high moisture content inside the grain can lead to:

• Mold Growth: Excess moisture creates a perfect environment for mold, which can ruin entire batches of grain.
• Pest Infestation: Grains at higher moisture levels attract pests looking for a meal, leading to potential contamination.
• Reduced Market Value: Buyers typically prefer low-moisture grain, and grain prices reflect that. Higher moisture may result in lower prices or a batch of grain not meeting sale requirements at all.

Given the importance of grain quality, effective drying is paramount for Delmarva farmers. This is where PepUp helps our wholesale customers in the farming community keep their crops profitable.

Grain drying can be accomplished through various methods using propane, heating oil, and kerosene. In the Delmarva region, propane is the most widely used fuel for grain drying.
Essentially, every grain drying setup follows the same basic process:

1. Setup: Farmers load their grains into a drying bin. The bin is equipped with a burner that uses propane as the fuel source.
2. Heating: The burner ignites fuel to produce hot air, which is funneled across the grains.
3. Moisture Removal: As the hot, dry air flows across the grain, it raises the temperature and draws out moisture, allowing for effective drying.

Farmers choose different fuels based on the equipment they use and their individual harvest needs. Let’s consider the top three fuels local farmers use to dry grains, and why they choose one fuel over another.

Propane is the most popular fuel choice for grain dryers in our area due to its efficiency and clean-burning nature, which helps reduce the cost of grain drying.

One of the key advantages of propane is its availability in the region, thanks to the extensive network of storage facilities PepUp maintains and our ability to deliver large quantities of propane to local farmers quickly and reliably.

Here are the top reasons why propane grain drying technology is used by 8 out of 10 farmers in our region:

• Efficiency: Propane packs quite a punch with its high energy content. It burns hotter and more evenly than other fuels, making it perfect for drying grain uniformly—something that’s important for a quality yield.
• Reliability: Propane grain drying systems offer reliability, even in remote setups. They’re highly portable, allowing farmers to take them to areas where other types of dryers can’t be fueled. This makes them perfect for rural farms.
• Cost: Because propane is so efficient, it speeds up drying times and uses less energy. This means you can save quite a bit on fuel in the long run compared to using other energy sources.
• Low-Emissions: Propane is a cleaner option than many other fuels. It releases fewer pollutants than diesel and gasoline. It’s not a greenhouse gas, so it has a lower impact on the environment. In a lot of places, it’s even less carbon-intensive than the electricity from the grid. That makes propane a nice, clean alternative for your grain drying needs, and as a bonus, it doesn’t leave the grain with an odor or taste.

The Propane Education and Research Council reports that propane grain drying systems are 50 percent more efficient than older types of systems. Use this calculator to determine how much propane you would need to dry a specific grain harvest to exactly the right moisture content.

Heating oil is another viable option for grain drying. Here’s why farmers might use heating oil to dry their grain crops:

• Efficiency: Heating oil is known for its high energy output, which helps generate a strong, consistent heat. This steady heat is key for drying grain uniformly, ensuring that every kernel is up to standard and ready for market.
• Equipment Durability: Equipment that runs on heating oil tends to be tough and long-lasting. These systems are built to withstand rough conditions, which makes them a reliable choice season after season, and even generation after generation.
• Cost Control: While fuel prices can fluctuate, pricing for heating oil remains relatively consistent over long periods of time, with less seasonal fluctuation.

Using heating oil can be advantageous in terms of cost-effectiveness, especially if farmers purchase in bulk or pre-buy contracts when heating oil prices are at their lowest. Farmers should consider their specific harvesting schedules, equipment efficiency, and storage capacity and requirements when choosing this method.

Kerosene, while less common than propane and heating oil, is still used by some farmers in the Delmarva region. Here’s why:

• Efficiency: Kerosene offers a reliable heat source, delivering consistent energy output that helps achieve even grain drying. This uniform heating is crucial for maintaining the quality of your harvest. It’s also exceptionally stable in cold weather, which gives it an edge over heating oil for farmers who need to pre-buy and store fuel throughout the year.
• Flexibility: Like propane, kerosene is a portable fuel, making it perfect for farms located in areas without easy access to a farm’s large fuel storage tanks. This flexibility means you can take the drying operation to the field instead of transporting the grain to the dryer.
• Dependability: Kerosene equipment is built to last, often with simple designs that require minimal maintenance. This makes it a dependable option for family farms to use for many years, and it’s easy to repair when needed.

While kerosene can be effective, it is important to ensure proper ventilation to avoid any buildup of fumes. Grain quality and marketability may suffer if excess hydrocarbons affect the grain’s natural smell or taste.

Farmers in the high-humidity Delmarva coastal region reduce grain moisture content through drying methods that deliver top-quality results, work with their equipment, and provide some cost-saving efficiency. PepUp delivers the fuel that helps farmers protect their investments and ensure their grains fetch the best price, without risk of spoilage and infestation.

If you’ve just purchased a home with an oil furnace or need a refresher on how to manage and use your heating oil system efficiently, PepUp wants to help.

Use this guide to find the answers you need about efficient heating practices, system maintenance, and even the pros and cons of converting your home’s heating system from oil to propane.

Heating oil has been a staple for home heating since the early 20th century, especially in areas like Delmarva. Derived from crude oil, it is refined to create a safe and reliable heat source. Known for its ability to generate consistent, comfortable warmth during harsh winters, heating oil has powered countless homes across cold climates for decades.

Our technicians most often encounter heating oil systems that include forced air, hot water baseboards, and steam radiators. Forced air systems use a furnace to heat air, which is distributed through ducts. Hot water systems (baseboards or radiators) use a boiler to heat water, which circulates through pipes. Steam systems are similar, but they use steam instead of hot water.

Here’s a quick overview of how a forced air heating oil furnace works:

1. Thermostat activation. The process begins when the thermostat detects that the room temperature has fallen below the set level and signals the furnace to kick on.
2. Oil pump activation. The furnace’s oil pump draws heating oil from the storage tank through a filter to remove impurities.
3. Atomization. The oil is pumped under pressure and then atomized—turned into a fine mist—by a nozzle inside the burner.
4. Combustion. The atomized oil mist is mixed with air and ignited by an electric spark or hot surface ignitor inside the combustion chamber, creating a controlled flame.
5. Heat exchange. The heat produced by the burning oil warms up the heat exchanger, which then heats the air blown by the furnace’s blower fan.
6. Warm air circulation. The blower pushes the heated air through the ductwork and distributes it throughout the home via vents, raising the indoor temperature.
7. Exhaust venting. Combustion gases are vented out of the home through a flue or chimney, ensuring indoor air remains safe and clean.
8. Thermostat monitoring. Once the desired temperature is reached, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off, repeating the cycle as needed to maintain comfort.

Using heating oil is a reliable way to maintain a cozy home, even when it’s wet and cold outside. Home heating oil is both clean and efficient, making it a reliable choice when your primary heating system is an oil furnace. Here are some key advantages of using heating oil:

• It’s clean. Modern heating oils are approximately 95% cleaner than those used half a century ago. This means you can enjoy efficient home heating while benefiting from a more environmentally friendly option.
• It’s dependable. Heating oil offers reliable warmth throughout your home, ensuring each room remains at your preferred temperature, even during harsh winter weather.
• It’s efficient. With its high energy output, your heating system will only require a minimal amount of heating oil. This efficiency, coupled with our extensive storage and distribution capabilities, allows us to offer competitive heating oil prices in Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware.
• It’s safe. Heating oil only ignites in the presence of an advanced burner system, ensuring safety from accidental ignition and giving you peace of mind about your system.
• It’s warm. One of the major benefits of heating with oil is its ability to generate warmth efficiently. It burns at a rapid 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much more effective than electric heat pumps. With an energy release of 138,500 BTUs per gallon, it provides exceptional warmth.

Homes in our area typically can have either aboveground or underground tanks to store heating oil. Aboveground tanks are easier to inspect and maintain and are generally located in a basement or outside the house. Underground tanks offer more space-saving solutions; however, they can be more challenging to inspect and carry environmental risks if leaks occur.

It’s important to regularly monitor your home’s heating oil levels to ensure uninterrupted service. Most tanks come equipped with a gauge that visually indicates oil levels. Alternatively, a simple dipstick method can be used.

Learn more about how to check your heating oil levels using the dipstick method. Better yet, sign up for Automatic Delivery from PepUp, and we’ll install a wireless tank monitor that keeps track of your oil levels so you don’t have to.

To maintain peak efficiency and reliability of your heating oil furnace and supply lines:

Conduct monthly checks: Ensure the tank is in good condition and that there is no noticeable wear or leakage.

Schedule annual inspection and service: Before the cold hits, have a professional inspect your system for any issues. This keeps any surprises at bay when you need heat the most.

During an inspection, a heating oil service technician will typically perform the following tasks:

• Visual Inspection: The technician will visually examine the entire system, including the furnace, tanks, fuel lines, and any accessible components. They will check for signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks.
• Cleaning the Furnace: Over time, soot and carbon deposits can build up inside the furnace, affecting its efficiency. The technician will clean these deposits from the burner and other components to ensure optimal operation.
• Checking the Burner: The burner is the heart of your heating system. The technician will inspect and test it to ensure it ignites properly and burns fuel efficiently. They might also calibrate the burner to optimize fuel efficiency.
• Inspecting the Fuel Nozzles and Filters: Over time, fuel nozzles can become clogged, and filters can get dirty. These components will be inspected, cleaned, or replaced as necessary to ensure smooth fuel flow.
• Checking Thermostat Controls: The technician will test thermostat controls and settings to ensure that your heating system responds properly and maintains the desired indoor temperature.
• Testing Safety Controls: Safety controls, such as the furnace’s limits, are tested to ensure they are functioning correctly and will shut down the system in case of overheating or other issues.
• Inspecting the Oil Tank and Lines: For both aboveground and underground tanks, the technician will check for signs of leaks or damage. Fuel lines are also examined for leaks or corrosion.
• Combustion Efficiency Test: This test analyzes the exhaust gases to determine how efficiently fuel is being burned. The results provide a clear indication of the system’s performance, and adjustments are made if necessary.
• Checking Air Flow: In systems with ductwork, the technician may check for blockages or leaks that could affect air distribution and overall system efficiency.
• Lubricating Moving Parts: Any moving parts, such as blower motors or pumps, are lubricated to reduce friction and wear.

Keep the area clear: Make sure the space around the furnace or boiler is free from any obstruction or combustible materials.

Fuel delivery scheduling: Estimate your oil usage to schedule regular deliveries or order will call deliveries, or have a PepUp technician install a wireless heating oil tank monitor when you sign up for Automatic Delivery and The Promise Plan, a level payment plan that takes the guesswork out of heating fuel costs.

We’ll deliver your heating oil quickly so that you, your family, and your home stays warm and safe.

Scheduling or preparing for a home heating oil delivery in the winter can sometimes be necessary to ensure a warm and comfortable home during the cold months. Here are five tips to help you stay on top of your home heating oil needs, and prepare for delivery if you’re caught running low during the winter.

Regularly check the gauge or use the manual dipstick to determine how many inches of oil remain in your tank. This will help you estimate when a refill might be necessary, and avoid damage to your heating system.

Heating systems typically rely on a constant supply of heating oil to operate efficiently. If your tank runs empty or the fuel level drops too low, the heating system may struggle. This can lead to malfunctions, excessive wear and tear, and even damage to critical components. Monitoring your oil levels ensures that you always have an adequate amount of fuel to keep your heating system running smoothly.

Customers in the PepUp service area usually don’t have an external gauge that allows for a quick visual inspection of heating oil levels inside the tank. Instead, you’ll need to check your heating oil levels using a “stick” method that’s similar to checking your car’s oil using a dipstick.

1. First, you’ll need a clean stick that’s at least 6 feet long to ensure you can reach the bottom of your tank, and not lose the stick inside.
2. Next, locate your fill pipe, remove the cap, and insert the stick straight down until you hit the bottom of the tank.
3. Pull the stick out slowly and measure how many inches of oil are on the stick.
4. Use this Fuel Inches Chart from PepUp to determine how many gallons of oil you have left in your tank, based on the size of your tank and the inches of oil on your stick.

During the winter, establish a routine to check your oil levels once or twice a week, depending on your usage patterns. This will allow you to estimate when it’s time to schedule a delivery and avoid running out of oil.

Don’t wait until your tank is completely empty before scheduling a delivery. It’s important to plan ahead to avoid running out of heating oil. Contact PepUp for heating oil delivery early, especially during periods of high demand, to ensure you have enough fuel to last through the colder weather.

To eliminate the stress of monitoring your oil levels and scheduling deliveries, consider enrolling in Automatic Delivery from PepUp. This service uses an advanced monitoring system to track your oil usage and automatically schedule deliveries when you are running low. This helps avoid the risk of running out of oil and ensures a convenient and uninterrupted supply.

Before the scheduled delivery, make sure the pathway to your heating oil tank is clear of snow, ice, or any obstructions to the walking path. This will allow the delivery driver to access your tank easily and safely. Keep in mind that a clear and accessible pathway also helps expedite the delivery process and avoids potential delays.

For example, if there is a specific entrance to your property, a locked gate, or a dog on the premises, make sure your delivery driver is aware. This will help ensure a smooth and efficient delivery experience for everyone, and your driver will thank you for keeping pets contained during your delivery.

When it comes to winter preparedness in our region, it’s important to have home heating backup plans. Have backup heating options that are indoor-safe, such as propane fireplace inserts or space heaters.
