How can you ensure that clean fuel reaches the oil burner?

Use only new tanks
Install tanks improperly
Regularly inspect and maintain equipment
Only check tanks before installation

The correct answer is: Regularly inspect and maintain equipment

To ensure that clean fuel reaches the oil burner, regular inspection and maintenance of equipment is essential. This process includes checking for any leaks, corrosion, or debris that may contaminate the fuel. By routinely inspecting the tanks, pipes, filters, and burner components, you can identify and address potential issues before they lead to more serious problems, such as blockages or breakdowns that could affect the efficiency and safety of the heating system. The other options would not achieve the goal of ensuring clean fuel delivery. Using only new tanks, while potentially beneficial, does not guarantee cleanliness if they are not properly maintained or if contaminants enter the system after installation. Installing tanks improperly can lead to leaks and other issues that compromise fuel quality. Additionally, only checking tanks before installation does not account for contamination or degradation that can occur over time; continuous monitoring and maintenance are crucial for maintaining fuel purity.
