In addition, the TSSA is strongly encouraged to continue to include information regarding new code requirements and leak resistant technology in its communications products, and request fuel suppliers to:

Promote to their customers the importance of regular maintenance as described in Section 13 of the Ontario Installation Code for Oil-burning Equipment to increase awareness of and compliance with this requirement (this could be accomplished by printing a reminder on the fuel bill).
