Tanks in Washington Crossing homes
Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century stone houses along River Road and through the old village of Taylorsville, and large modern houses on wooded acreage set back from it. Only 401 households per square mile, so stops are spread out. Tank arrangements vary more than anywhere except New Hope — cellars, outbuildings, and a meaningful number of buried tanks.

Buying heating oil in Washington Crossing
A small number of large houses that burn a lot of oil: 552 households, but on big lots with old envelopes and high ceilings, which means bigger fills than a Levittown rancher. High-value stops spread thin is precisely the pattern where one company can quietly charge whatever it likes for years, and it is worth making them bid. 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 Washington Crossing?
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 Washington Crossing — common questions
Is Washington Crossing a town?+
It is a village and a historic park within Upper Makefield Township rather than a borough. 18977 is the ZIP, and everything in it is served.
How many Washington Crossing homes heat with oil?+
552 of 1,763 occupied homes, or 31.3% — one of the highest shares in Bucks County, and well over twice the 14.0% area average.
Why is oil so common in a wealthy area?+
Because the gas main never came out this far for much of it. Out here oil is often the only option rather than the cheap one, which is why the share is so high.
I have a long drive and stone gateposts. Will the truck make it?+
Usually, but tell us when you order. A tight stone entrance, soft gravel after rain or a low branch are all things a driver would rather know before committing a loaded truck than halfway down.
My Washington Crossing tank is underground. Is that a problem?+
Yes, if the fill and vent are sound and reachable. Buried tanks are more common along the river than anywhere else in Bucks, and they are also the ones most worth having inspected — a leak underground is an environmental problem, not just a heating one.
Which pricing zone is this?+
Lower Bucks, so there is no distance offset even though the properties are spread out. The price on this page is the price.
Do you deliver along River Road in 18977?+
Yes, the whole length of it within 18977. It is narrow with the canal on one side, so a note about where to pull in is more useful here than almost anywhere else we serve.
What size tank should I expect?+
Anything from a single 275 to two tanks linked together in the older stone houses, where heating was added long after the house was built. Give us the gauge reading and we size the fill to what is really there.
