Grandfather Clause 4 Non-Spec Diesel Tanks Expires


Since 2002 an amendment to the Clear Language Regulations has allowed diesel fuel to be transported in non-specification tanks. Starting January 1, 2010 it will be imperative that “skid” tanks and other non-spec tanks be standardized. The grandfather clause has run its 8 year course and with its expiry there should be little excuse for non-compliance. Depending upon the tank type used, there are Standards available indicating the proper tank specification to be used January 1, 2010. For more information please call us or link to the bulletin published by Transport Canada at: http://www.tc.gc.ca/tdg/publications/alerts/diesel.htm
