For those of us that are challenged on the metric units I think your saying you have a 1000 Gal oil tank and a 35-40 gal hot water tank. Here around Washington DC I just looked up my November Natural Gas bill for November; used 69 cu. feet of gas to heat (force air system) a 4000 sq. ft house suplimented with a wood stove at the end of the month. Total cost(Distribution, gas and taxes) was $94. January and February will be at least twice that. I also run a propane forced air system to heat my insulated shop and keep the water system from freezing. I'm only there on weekends but the small wall units run all the time from Thanksgiving through mid March. The month of December was 115 gal at just over $3/gal. ($369).
If you change to gas what are you going to do with the left over oil--burn it in your tractor (it is diesel after all) and how are you going to get the tank out (I'm assuming it is in the basement)? Based on my information you can figure a close number for the amount of gas you would use and how many tanks you'll need a month. Remember they are heavy. If it were me I would stay with oil unless I could get at least a 250 gal tank installed (500+ is better).

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
