For oil clubs and community websites

A free heating oil price box for your website

Show today's heating oil price for your county on your oil club, parish council or village website. It keeps itself up to date. Free, with no sign-up and no cookies.

Make your price box

Three steps

Make your price box

Choose your county

The box shows that county's price and links to its page on Fueltool, where your visitors can check their own postcode.

Light or dark

Light Dark

Pick whichever sits better on your page.

How it will look

Today's prices on Fueltool

This is the real box with today's figures. It fits any space up to 340 pixels wide, so it suits a sidebar or a phone screen.

Copy this onto your website

<div class="fueltool-price-box"><a href="https://www.fueltool.co.uk/heating-oil-prices">Today's prices on Fueltool</a></div>
<script src="https://www.fueltool.co.uk/tracker.js" async></script>

Email it to whoever runs your website

Paste it where you want the box to show, into a block for HTML or code. Most website builders have one, often called "Custom HTML", "Embed" or "Code".

What it shows

Today's price, kept up to date for you

Where Fueltool has a local price for your county, the box shows the lowest price a litre today, before VAT, for a 1,000 litre delivery, and roughly what 1,000 litres costs with VAT. It is the same figure as your county's page on Fueltool.
Where we don't have a local price for your county yet, it shows the UK average and says that local prices vary.
It also shows the UK average, how it has moved since last week, and a small line of the last 90 days.
It updates by itself. Once it is on your website there is nothing more to do.

Good to know

Before you add it

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no account, no cost and no advert in the box. Fueltool is an independent heating oil price comparison, running since 2011.

The link under the price

It goes to your county's page on Fueltool, where your visitors can check prices for their own postcode. You're welcome to change its words. The box shows the county the link points to, and if your website ever leaves the box out, the link still works on its own.

Your visitors' privacy

The box sets no cookies and doesn't track anyone. To show the price, your visitor's browser fetches today's figure from fueltool.co.uk, the way a page loads a picture from another website. Our server keeps the standard logs every website keeps; our privacy policy has the details.

Will it slow my website down?

No. It loads after the rest of your page, it is small (about 6 KB) and it makes one request for the price.

If your website builder won't take it

In WordPress, use a Custom HTML block, or a Custom HTML widget for a sidebar. In Wix and Google Sites, use their Embed option: the box works, though they put it in a frame of its own. If your builder doesn't allow code at all, a normal link to your county's page on Fueltool does the same job.

For developers

The box is our open price feed and one small script. A county's figures are at /api/v1/price/?county=flintshire, using the name from the county page's address. Everything else is in the API documentation.
