You can do what I have always done. Go to a heating and AC place and ask
them to keep a oil fired hot air furnace they are replacing that they know
is still working, then use a 5 gallon (metal) can for the fuel supply. This
way you can disconnect the fuel feed and take the can to get it refilled.
I have used this method in 2 garages I have had so far. In 5 mins. the
garage is warm enough to work in even when it is well below freezing.
In my second garage I took 4' X 8' sheets of 1" styrofoam and attached them
to the ceiling rafters with long roofing nails then used lath size boards to
cover the seams in the styrofoam. It looked rather nice and it was "cheap"
insulation.
