TANKS & EQUIPMENT ·  SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO

Tanks and storage equipment on the same standing route as the fuel.

ULC-listed steel tanks, ULC-listed double-walled cubes, and tank-side equipment — selected for the service, labelled to the Ontario Fire Code, installed and inspected by TSSA-certified mechanics, and refilled by bulk delivery. Same supplier on the tank as on the fuel.

01 / WHAT WE DELIVER

Three tank families on one route.

The tank is decided at install — by what the fuel is for and what regulation applies. Right tank, right standard, the first time.

CAN/ULC-S601 · O. Reg. 217/01

Yard diesel tanks

Steel aboveground tanks for on-road clear diesel — service-truck yards, fleet refuelling, and standby for the operations the route passes daily. Certified to CAN/ULC-S601, installed under Ontario’s Liquid Fuels Handling Code by a TSSA Petroleum Mechanic.

Fleet & commercial overview
CAN/ULC-S602 · O. Reg. 213/01

Fuel-oil tanks

Customer-owned aboveground or basement tanks for residential and small commercial fuel oil, certified to CAN/ULC-S602 and on a 10-year TSSA inspection cycle. The supplier delivers the fuel; the homeowner owns the tank.

Home heating overview

Propane tanks and cubes

Propane bulk storage from 125 USWG to multi-tank installations — supplier-supported and customer-owned models for residential, agricultural, and commercial sites. ULC-listed double-walled cubes for portable construction work, refilled by bulk delivery on the standing route.

Yard tank for licensed vehicles

A yard tank that fuels licensed motor vehicles — clear on-road diesel for trucks, vans, and pickups — sits under O. Reg. 217/01 (Liquid Fuels). The certified tank is CAN/ULC-S601. The installer is a TSSA Petroleum Mechanic holding the PM.3 certificate. Labels go on under the Ontario Fire Code Part 4.3 and the Canadian Fuels Association Colour-Symbol System.

Fuel-oil tank for residential heat

A heating-oil tank in the basement or beside the house, or a generator day tank, sits under O. Reg. 213/01 (Fuel Oil). The certified tank is CAN/ULC-S602, capped at 2,500 L. Installation runs to CSA B139. The 10-year TSSA inspection cycle applies; supply is conditional on a current inspection.

Propane tank or cube

A propane bulk tank or a portable cube sits under O. Reg. 211/01 (Propane Storage and Handling) and CSA B149.2 (propane storage). Installation, decommissioning, and regulated mechanical work require a TSSA-registered fuel contractor with a licensed Gas Technician (G.1, G.2, or G.3 as the work demands). The 10-year inspection cycle applies on the equipment side, with the supplier flagging it on the account before service is interrupted.

03 / THE 10-YEAR INSPECTION CYCLE

The inspection rule, in plain terms.

Both propane and fuel-oil tanks fall under a TSSA-administered 10-year inspection cycle. The rule is the same across every supplier in the province, and the supplier’s job is to make sure it never becomes a surprise on the account.

  • What it covers

    Propane: the equipment downstream of the tank — furnace, water heater, fireplace, range — is inspected on a 10-year cycle by a TSSA-certified gas technician under CSA B149.1. Fuel oil: the tank and the connected appliance are inspected on a 10-year cycle by a TSSA-certified petroleum mechanic under CSA B139.

  • Why supply depends on it

    Ontario Regulation 211/01 prohibits a propane distributor from supplying a residence whose equipment has not been inspected within the previous ten years. The fuel-oil rule under O. Reg. 213/01 follows the same logic. The supplier carries the obligation on the supply side; the homeowner carries it on the equipment side.

  • When the supplier flags it

    B&J tracks the inspection date on the account and surfaces it to the homeowner with enough lead time to schedule the work before the deadline lands. The cadence is built around delivery schedules so the conversation happens before the next refill, not after.

  • TSSA Director’s Order FS-271-24

    A specific case worth knowing: TSSA’s 2024 Director’s Order took 200 psig propane tanks (MAWP below 250) out of service on 1 October 2025. Tanks installed before roughly 2010 may need replacement; the MAWP is on the nameplate. The order is published on TSSA’s site; the supplier flags any tank on the account that crosses it.

04 / FAQ

Questions we hear most often.

01Who actually installs the tank — Boucher & Jones or a separate contractor?
Installation, decommissioning, and regulated mechanical work are performed by qualified contractors — a TSSA-registered fuel contractor with a licensed Gas Technician on the propane side, a certified Petroleum Mechanic contractor on the oil and yard-diesel side. B&J supplies the tank where applicable, the labels, and the fuel, and works with installer partners across the nine-county footprint. The rep on your account coordinates the introduction.O. REG. 215/01 · O. REG. 216/01
02Can I reuse my old fuel-oil tank as a diesel tank for the trucks?
No. A fuel-oil tank is certified to CAN/ULC-S602 for fuel oil service under O. Reg. 213/01. A yard tank for licensed-vehicle diesel must be certified to CAN/ULC-S601 under O. Reg. 217/01. The two are different tanks, certified to different standards, for different services, under different regulations. The right tank for the right service is decided at install — by what the fuel is for, not by what the tank looks like.CAN/ULC-S601 · S602
03I own a propane tank. Can I switch suppliers?
Yes. A customer-owned tank is yours to choose a supplier for. A supplier-owned tank is maintained by the supplier that put it in, and the change of supplier conversation runs through tank ownership or tank replacement. B&J supports both ownership models and walks through the trade-offs as part of the new-account conversation.OPERATIONS · O. REG. 211/01
04Do you handle the labels and the colour bands too?
Yes. Tanks go up labelled to the Ontario Fire Code Part 4.3 and the Canadian Fuels Association Colour-Symbol System — the red band on the coloured-diesel tank, the white band on the clear, the propane and oil tank labels in their place. The Ministry-issued tags go on at install. If a label is missing or has weathered off, the rep adds it on the next delivery.O. REG. 213/07 S. 4.3.1.7(1) · CFA COLOUR-SYMBOL SYSTEM
05What about a fuel cube on a construction site?
A ULC-listed double-walled cube on a construction pad is one of the most common storage shapes we run. The cube comes in, gets refilled by bulk delivery on the cadence that matches the site’s burn, and goes out at job end. Sizing comes down to daily burn and refill cadence; the rep walks the equipment list with the GC before the first delivery.CAN/ULC-S601 · CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS
