The rule does not regulate other fuels, only gasoline specifically. This applies regardless of the type of dwelling or equipment involved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 168-32, compliant property operators ensure that no heating or cooking appliances in their rental units are supplied with or configured to run on gasoline. Routine inspections of fuel sources and equipment help confirm that only permitted fuels are in use. Maintaining documentation of approved fuel types and appliance specifications supports ongoing compliance with this provision.
