Excerpt from Report of the Investigation of Slow-Flow Meters for Fuel Oil Distribution Systems A new method of distributing fuel oil from a single central stor age facility to a number of individual residences has recently been developed by fuel oil distributors. This method involves the delivery of fuel through distribution lines to individual homes where small meters (figure 1) are installed to measure the flow of fuel as actually consumed by the burner. This system of oil distribution is most suit able for new housing developments and trailer parks where the instal lation costs can be held to an economically feasible level. This type of fuel-oil distribution system seems rapidly to be gaining acceptance throughout the country because of the reported advantages of the system: (1) the elimination of individual home storage tanks, (2) the reduction of oil deliveries, (3) the elimination of the need for fuel inventories in individual homes, and (4) the simplification of billing procedures.
