Commercial Fuel Oil Tank Inspections

B139 Comprehensive Inspections

The B139 Comprehensive Inspection is a 53 point inspection based on the CSA B139 Series:19 Installation code for oil-burning equipment, notably emergency (life-safety) generators, boilers for heating or domestic hot water or fire protection pumps. Other codes that influence the inspection are the National Building Code of Canada, the CSA C282:19 Emergency electrical supply for buildings, and the NFPA 20 Standards for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection and the NFPA 211 Standards for Chimneys and Vents.

There are three main areas that our TSSA certified OBT-1 technicians evaluate during the inspection:

  1. Fuel storage and supply (tanks, piping and pumps)
  2. Combustion air (louvers and ducting)
  3. Venting the product of combustion

With over 25 years of inspection services experience, the experts at Mannion Petroleum will guide you through your TSSA generator, boiler and fire pump requirements.
