Selection Guide FAQs
What size oil carrier do I need?
This depends on your fryer setup, oil volume, and disposal process. We recommend matching the carrier capacity to your largest fryer to minimize trips.
Do I need a pump system?
If safety and efficiency are priorities, pump systems are strongly recommended. They eliminate burn risk, reduce back strain, and speed up oil changes.
How do I reduce oil spills?
Using controlled oil transfer systems significantly reduces spills and splashing. The Simplicity Series and BOSS System both provide sealed, controlled transfer.
