Generator Fuel Supply Systems
Providing safe fuel supply systems and moving the fuel to your emergency generator is a Mannion Petroleum specialty. Whether the fuel tank is housed in the parking level, at grade or on the roof of the building, our technicians will ensure the most efficient installation possible. When it’s time to upgrade (usually a request for a Comprehensive Inspection of the equipment from your fuel supplier or your insurer), we have developed a 45-point inspection based on the current code (Ontario Installation Code for Oil-burning Equipment – CSA B139). This inspection is used to arrive at a complete overview of the integrity of the system, from the fuel fill pipe to the exhaust outlet.
Fuel Supply Systems Safety
Mannion Petroleum prides itself on giving you the most cost effective solution to safety and code compliance. If a TSSA Variance is involved, we work closely with the TSSA inspectors and engineers to ensure all parties are satisfied. A Variance is an equivalent level of safety if your particular installation cannot meet code compliance exactly as stated in the code document. Mannion Petroleum has years of experience in arriving at innovative solutions to keep your emergency power dependable. We have developed and maintained a mutually respectful relationship with the TSSA and its’ field inspectors to ensure a smooth and cost efficient upgrading procedure. Always get a second opinion before agreeing on any fuel supply system work. Contact us today for more information.

Combustion Air Dampers/Actuators
Fuel oil burning equipment consumes air, and lots of it. So smooth functioning air louvers are essential. But it doesn’t stop there: the B139 code requires that the louvers function in a certain way. The actuator is the motor unit that opens and closes the combustion air dampers as called for by the generator . Mannion Petroleum technicians are certified by Belimo (a Swiss actuator manufacturer) in the sizing and installation of quality actuators.
Venting & Generator Exhaust Systems
The TSSA has pays special attention to emergency generator exhaust systems. Mannion Petroleum can help the property management/owner choose the best way to be code compliant. If the system has been engineer designed and approved, then uncertified components may be acceptable. However, if the system is in need of updating, Mannion installs ULC approved exhaust systems.
Unapproved Generator Exhaust Systems (excerpt from TSSA Fuels update):
Generator exhaust systems must meet the same requirements for venting combustion products as other types of appliances.
The exhaust system is required to be a certified (ULC) vent system specifically certified for generator exhaust or a vent system that has been engineered to meet the requirements of the Ontario Building Code, which references NFPA 211. However, if the existing system is not ULC certified Mannion Petroleum can conduct a pressure test of the system so replacement may not be necessary.
