Yelm's Propane Supply FAQs
Can any extreme weather in Yelm effect my propane supply?
- The short answer is technically yes but it is very unlikely. Propane itself freezes at -306.4 degrees Fahrenheit (or -188 degrees Celsius) so that is not a problem. What is more likely to happen is that your propane can no longer vaporize. When the temperature gets below -44 degrees Fahrenheit (-42 degrees Celsius) the propane will no longer boil. You can fix it by getting a propane tank heater. However, the lowest average temperature in Yelm, Washington rarely goes beneath 23 degrees Fahrenheit so you likely will not have to worry about extreme cold. Alternatively, in hot weather conditions, you should simply not leave your propane in direct sunlight as the hotter the tank gets, the more pressure there will be inside the tank.
Is Oil Heat Clean?
Cleanliness is an important oil heat improvement. Todays’ oil heat is 95 percent cleaner than it was in 1970. When properly adjusted and maintained, new oil heat systems create absolutely no soot, dirt, or odors in the home. Heating oil delivered by Acme Fuel is an Ultra-Low Sulfur (15 ppm) product. This reduces the sulfur emissions as much as 99 percent from traditional heating oil. This cleaner burning fuel gives us all a chance to breathe easier.
What Is The Difference Between "Automatic" and "Will Call"?
We use a few methods. Most customers are on a degree day schedule. Degree days are a measure of how cold the weather is. Our computer computes your K factor, which is like miles per gallon on a car; it is the rate at which you burn fuel for heat, which is correlated to the weather. Then we determine whether or not you have non-heat related appliances like water heaters, and we build in a gallon/day formula for that. The computer system takes all these factors and generates a ticket accordingly. We try to make a delivery when your tank is 2/3 empty. While this may sound confusing, and is by no means perfect, it has been around for a very long time and is quite accurate.
The other method is called a Julian method; with this method, we deliver to you every certain number of days. This works well if you have a large mix of non-heat related appliances, or a swimming pool heater. More information can be found by Googling degree day schedules.

The customer service from Acme Fuel is 5 star. The scheduling staff is friendly, kind and efficient. We noted that we didn’t have power and with the snow coming we wanted to make sure we didn’t run out of propane. They made a note and the driver showed up the next day asked how were doing and if we had power yet. Many thanks to this business for their exception customer service.

Acme Fuel is the Best. I have been a propane customer for 15 years.Some how they always know when it is time to refill my 120 gal tank I have never had to call for service. One morning as I was waking up it came to me it may be time for a refill when I got up noticed a truck noise and Wow! The Acme Guy was filling the tank. Great Service and I have shared the info with friends.

The driver for ACME just delivered my fuel on 5-15-19. I was outside working in the yard when he arrived, very efficient, nice and friendly. We are set up for automatic deliver; my husband and I have been a customers for 11+ years. I never have to make a call, we have never run out of fuel as they know our usage and always get here to put fuel in our tank. Thank you for many years of service and many more years in the future.

Usually one of the cheapest places in town that ain’t gonna make you drive the extra distance out to Tumwater or through the miserable roundabouts. It’s a 24 hour, self serve, and CARD ONLY sort of place that also has ETHANOL FREE fuel for roughly $0.60 extra (BRING YOUR FUEL JUGS). There aren’t any attendants. The trucks that bring in the fuel are literally parked right beside the pumps.Ohh, and the propane place is ACME just two and a half blocks south southeast.

Acme Fuel's clear & competitive propane pricing promise
Other companies may try to sell you “teaser rates”. Teaser rates are when they offer their “set” price only to later raise it with surprise charges and fees. Even worse, they artificially lower their rates during the summer months when you need propane the least then immediately raise them again in the winter when you need your propane the most. Acme does NOT believe in dishonest pricing. Our prices only change when our wholesale prices change. Take a look at our current heating oil and propane prices, you won’t be disappointed.
