Unblocking a Heating fuel oil counter

counter meter 001

There are two properties using one fuel oil storage tank and to register what oil is used per property I installed fuel counters. Unfortunately these units block quite often (mainly in cold weather as the fuel becomes waxy) and need to be taken off and an airline used to clear them. I decided to fill them with Gibbs and let them soak overnight. I refitted them and they haven’t blocked since.

Lubricating a Bicycle Chain with Gibbs Brand

Gibbs Brand is great for use on a bicycle chain. It not only lubricates it, but also helps keep it clean by not attracting dirt.

This video shows a great example – a folding bike with 16″ wheels. The chain is not far off the ground due to the small wheels which means the chain is very susceptible to dirt and spray off the road. However as it’s been lubricated regularly with Gibbs Brand the chain is still clean and running freely.
