Better Tank Standards For Diesel, Heating Fuel And Kerosene

The Ontario Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is proposing to update the safety requirements governing the storage, handling, and utilization of fuel oil, diesel and kerosene. Leaks and spills of petroleum products continue to be major sources of environmental contamination.The update will be through a regulation, adopting the national code recently published by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), CSA B139 Series-15, Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment."   The new Code would replace the current CSA-B39ON-06, "Ontario Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment," with the new CSA B139 Series-15 as adopted and revised by the TSSA Fuel Oil Code Adoption Document (CAD), 2015.
