Why is your propane tank painted a light-reflecting color? Safety is why!
If you paint a propane tank in a dark or non-reflective color, the tank will absorb heat from the sun, even on cloudy days. As the tank heats, the propane inside will expand. If it expands enough, it could cause the safety relief valve to open to reduce the excess pressure from the tank.

Here are two more photos from our vault as W.H. Riley & Son celebrates its 150th anniversary. We have had several different locations over the years. The first photo is our customer service office on North Washington Street in North Attleboro, back when parking meters were used downtown. The second is an office we maintained in Middleboro. We now have two offices: 35 Chestnut Street in North Attleboro and 125 Winter Street in Taunton. Both have plenty of space to park our trucks and fuel storage tanks, assuring our customers we always have the oil and propane they need to keep warm. Thousands of customers in nearly 40 cities and towns in Southeastern Massachusetts rely on W.H. Riley for fuel, heating, and cooling services.
We received a wonderful gift recently, all the way from Maine. Lois Wotten-Hayes of Bath, Maine, contacted us, asking if we want the item in the photo. The curiosity piece, about 4 inches by 5 inches, has a picture of a dog and a thermostat with our company name, W.H. Riley & Son, in the lower left corner. Lois said she was downsizing and wanted us to have it if we wanted it. She bought it 40 years ago in an antique shop in Rockland, Maine. How it got from North Attleboro, Mass., to an antique shop in Maine is anyone’s guess. “I’ve loved it all these years,” Lois said after mailing it to us. “I’m happy to give it to your company.” And we’re happy you enjoyed it, Lois; thank you. It is now on display on the front counter of our North Attleboro office.

The North Attleboro Firefighters Kids Day festival is always a great time, and W.H. Riley & Son was again happy to donate the propane and propane tanks used to cook all those hamburgers, hot dogs, and other goodies served up July 20-23. The food must have been terrific because roughly 200 gallons of propane were consumed over four days. That’s about eight times what the average propane customer uses in a year.

If you see fluctuations in your propane tank gauge levels -- especially with fast temperature swings from a hot day to a cool night -- Don’t worry! This is normal, and happens because the density of the propane in your tank is adjusting as the temperature changes. The amount of propane in your tank hasn’t changed' it’s just either taking up more room as it expands or it taking up less room as it contracts back to its normal size.
Here’s the latest in a series of photos as W.H. Riley & Son celebrates its 150th anniversary. We have delivered heating fuels, from wood to coal to oil and propane, for seven generations.

Our Story
W. H. Riley & Son was founded in North Attleboro, MA in 1873 by William H. Riley and his son Elmer I.Riley to deal coal, wood, straw and building supplies. The company also did furniture moving and teaming of all kinds and was incorporated in 1934.
The products and services have changed with the times so that fuel oil, heating and cooling equipment, gasoline, diesel fuel and propane gas have replaced the coal, wood, hay and straw of 1873.
Even though W.H. Riley & Son now uses the most modern computer technology, communications equipment and innovative marketing strategies to streamline our operations our commitment to the highest quality products and service has enabled us to grow and prosper over the years is still carried on by the present management who are the great, great, great grandchildren of old William H. Riley. This is quite a record in this age of mergers, acquisitions, failures and buyouts.
