'''Heating oil''' is used to [[fuel]] [[furnace]]s within buildings. It is usually [[dye|dyed]] to distinguish it from taxed vehicle fuel. Typically, delivery is by [[tanker truck]] to individual homes and commercial spaces, and the oil is stored in [[oil tanks]] in the [[basement]] or outside, next to the building.  Leaks in older facilities are an environmental concern.

Marsden has since returned to her entrepreneurial roots, picking and choosing interviews, appearances and projects, and working with various television and radio networks as a free-agent.  She continues to work as a political operative, opposition intelligence ("oppo") researcher, political and communications strategist, and media consultant with a worldwide public and private sector client base.
