How our trucks get here
Deliveries into Fox Chase run off Oxford Avenue, Cottman Avenue, Rhawn Street, Verree Road, Rising Sun Avenue, Levick Street, Pine Road and Tyson Avenue.
Oxford Avenue and Cottman are busy through-routes and a truck would rather work off them than on them. On the row blocks the usual applies: nowhere legal to stand is what turns a delivery into a second visit, so say if your block is tight.

Buying heating oil in Fox Chase
Fox Chase has more oil-heated homes than any other Philadelphia ZIP except Wissinoming — 836 of 25,851, about 3.2%. The share is small; the absolute number is not, and that is what matters for whether anyone is competing for your business. With a ZIP this large the oil houses are spread thinly across a lot of ground, which tends to keep prices soft for whoever is willing to look them up. Prices move daily with the wholesale rack, which is why the number above is today’s and not last week’s. Local dealers compete on this page, so the lowest price is always at the top — we don’t sell placement above a better price.
How much oil do you need in Fox Chase?
Order a dollar amount, a number of gallons, or ask for a fill — whichever way you actually think about it. Tell us your tank size and what the gauge reads and we’ll warn you before you pay if the tank won’t take it all. You’re charged only for the gallons that actually go in, and if it takes less, your price per gallon doesn’t go up.

Heating oil in Fox Chase — common questions
Do you deliver heating oil in Fox Chase, Philadelphia?+
Yes, to 19111, which covers Fox Chase, Burholme and Lawndale. It is the largest ZIP code by households anywhere in our delivery area.
How many Fox Chase homes heat with oil?+
836 of 25,851 occupied homes, about 3.2% — the second-largest number of oil-heated households of any Philadelphia ZIP we serve, after Wissinoming.
There is a farm in Fox Chase. Do you deliver out that way?+
Yes — 19111 runs from the rowhouse blocks near Oxford Avenue right out to Fox Chase Farm and Pine Road, and it is all one ZIP and one price.
My rowhouse fill is on the side wall a few feet from next door. Is that fine?+
Completely normal here, and drivers work with it daily. What genuinely helps is knowing whether the truck can stop legally on your block.
What is the minimum delivery in Fox Chase?+
100 gallons. A 275-gallon cellar tank run low takes roughly 180 to 220, so the minimum rarely decides the order.
