The Standard of Conduct

personal compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules, and
regulations.

     Every employee records information of some kind, which is used for business
purposes. Full, fair, accurate, understandable and timely reporting of
information is critical. Any employee who falsifies, alters, or misrepresents

an administrative agency or in a public communication, will be severely
disciplined if not discharged.

          records, must be in accordance with the laws of each applicable
          jurisdiction.

          occurrences to which they relate.

          reasonable detail and recorded in the proper account and in the proper
          accounting period.

          independent auditors.

Insider Trading/Access To Non-Public Information

     If you learn information that directly or indirectly relates to SGP or
could impact its value or unit price, you must share that information only with
employees or advisers of SGP who have a business reason to know what you know.
It would be illegal for you to personally invest, or cause others (e.g.,
friends, relatives) to invest for themselves or for you based on that
information. SGP has adopted a separate Insider Trading Policy, which includes,
among other provisions, specific prohibitions on trading on non-public
information or "tipping" others who might trade.

Corporate Opportunities

     Employees, Officers and Directors must never take for themselves personally
opportunities that are discovered through the use of corporate property,
information or position. Likewise, employees, Officers, and Directors must never
use corporate property or information for personal gain or to compete with SGP.
Your work hours are to be devoted solely to activities

                                       3



directly related to SGP business. You may not perform work for or solicit
business for any other employer.

Proper Use Of Company Assets

     All Company assets, (e.g., phones, computers, etc.) should be used solely
for legitimate business purposes. Carelessness and waste are unacceptable.

Proprietary And/Or Confidential Information

     Proprietary information is sensitive, confidential, private or classified
technical, financial, personnel or business information. This includes trade
secrets. You must not misuse or disclose such information to non-employees of
SGP (including family and friends). This obligation on your part not to disclose
or misuse SGP proprietary/confidential information continues when and if you
leave SGP for whatever reason.

Relationships With Customers/Suppliers

     You must treat all customers/suppliers fairly and according to applicable
laws, customs and regulations. Business decisions regarding suppliers must be
made on the basis of the quality, delivery, value and reliability of the product
or service offered. Employees may not borrow money or accept advances or other
personal payments from any person or company doing or seeking to do business
with SGP. Employees may not receive gifts of goods, services, accommodations or
otherwise from any person or company doing or seeking to do business with SGP
with a value in excess of $100, without the prior written approval of SGP's
chief executive officer, chief financial officer or a member of the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors.

Conflicts of Interest

     A "conflict" occurs when an individual's private interest interferes or
even appears to interfere in any way with the person's professional
relationships and/or the interests of SGP. You are conflicted if you take
actions or have interests that may make it difficult for you to perform your
work for SGP objectively and effectively. Likewise, you are conflicted if you or
a member of your family receives personal benefits as a result of your position
in SGP (directly or through a company they are employed by or in which they have
an ownership interest). You

                                       4



should avoid even the appearance of such a conflict. For example, there is a
likely conflict of interest if you:

     .    Cause SGP to engage in business transactions with relatives or
          friends;

     .    Use nonpublic SGP client or vendor information for personal gain by
          you, relatives or friends (including securities transactions based on
          such information);

     .    Have more than a modest financial interest in SGP vendors, clients or
          competitors;

     .    Receive a loan, or guarantee of obligations, from SGP or a third party
          as a result of your position at SGP; or

     .    Compete, or prepare to compete, with SGP while still employed by SGP.

     If you think you have been, are, or may become conflicted, report the
situation to Jim Bottiglieri at 203-325-5460 or by e-mail jbottigl@petroheat.com
immediately. The prompt reporting of such situations will be favorably weighted
should it be determined that corrective actions need to be administered.

Waivers/Changes

     No waivers or changes in any provisions of this Code can be granted by any
person other than the Board of Directors or a member of the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors. Any waiver or change will be in writing and will be
promptly disclosed to the public, in accordance with rules applicable to public
companies like SGP. Public disclosure will be made within five (5) business days
after the waiver is granted or change is made or otherwise as permitted under
the applicable SEC regulations. It will be made by the filing of an SEC Form
8-K. Concurrently, notice will be made by a posting on SGP website, which
posting will be retained for at least 12 months after it is initially posted.

Accountability

     Violations of this Code will result in discipline up to and including
termination and/or civil and/or criminal prosecution.
