Michaelene Pardi of Turner talks Monday with Chad Pelletier of Greene, who handed her a box of chocolates and filled her tank with heating oil for Valentine’s Day. Pelletier, an employee of Murray-Heutz Oil and Propane, helped fill the oil tanks of 10 customers for free during the Fuel Your Love event. Employees of the Turner-based company made suggestions of who might “need a little extra love this year,” General Manager Steve Temple said. “I have had my heat off for three days,” Pardi said. “This is a huge help. I have not had a Valentine given to me in quite a while.” Murray-Heutz is one of 11 fuel dealers participating in the Maine Energy Marketers Association promotion. “This winter ranks as one of the coldest ones that I can remember,” said Temple, who estimates about 1,500 gallons of heating oil or propane would be delivered for free by Murray-Heutz drivers Monday.
