Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

A section that had temporarily suspended the vapour-pressure limits for motor gasoline sold in Ontario has now been formally revoked and replaced with a short revocation notice. The practical effect is that the standard vapour-pressure requirements—covering Reid Vapour Pressure and related limits—apply without any exception. Fuel suppliers, blenders, and distributors who sell motor gasoline in Ontario should ensure their products comply with the vapour-pressure limits set out in the regulation. No transitional relief from those limits remains in the regulatory text.
