Double-Check Your Oil Fresh Meadows, N.Y. The latest innovation from U.S. Energy Group is “The VERIFIER Fuel Gauge” -- a computerized, ultrasonic measurement system that assures you never run out of oil and double-checks the accuracy of fuel deliveries. It provides a Low-oil Alert, Verifies and Records oil deliveries … including remote PC-access to monitoring of inventory status and usage. “I come at the market from my own experience as an apartment building owner,” said Jerry Pindus, President of US Energy Group, “and it’s always bothered me that I had no easy way to verify my oil deliveries and track usage -- especially given the price of oil these days. I think that both property owners and the oil companies themselves should welcome this accurate, double-check on deliveries. Plus, oil companies could greatly improve their delivery scheduling by knowing how much inventory customers really have at any given time.” Elie Jabbour, VP of US Energy Group’s Heat Controls division, said: “The VERIFIER has been in beta-test at more than 60 buildings for over six-months. We install it and enter the tank company’s measurement chart for each building’s tank in the computer. Then, in the traditional way, we ‘stick the tank’ with a heavy-gauge ruler and adjust the Verifier to be sure it matches. After we calibrate the computer the results are consistently accurate within 1/10th of an inch.” VP Marketing for THE VERIFIER, Warren Zaretsky, says, “The principle of checks and balances is as American as apple pie. If truck meter tickets stating the delivered amounts are confirmed by records produced by THE VERIFIER, then a system of checks and balances is really working. I’d like to see all the oil companies and the leading property owners’ organizations get together and agree to standardize this new system of checks and balances. What’s more, THE VERIFIER can virtually eliminate the problems caused by truck meters getting out of calibration and going unchecked for long periods of time. The Verifier can also prevent buildings running out of oil because the actual balance remaining in their tanks wasn’t known.” Reservations are being taken for Verifier installations. Options are available for low oil-level and short-cycling Alerts… plus boiler run-times, a fuel-use meter with day/night/and total oil gallons usage, and more.
