What type of oil tank fittings are required by code?

I am located in Ontario. I am trying to find out whether compression fittings are permitted on the oil tank supply line to the oil burner, or if flared fittings are required.

There is a lot of info out there. Most do not specify or even discuss the type of fitting. Some articles show galvanized pipe in the installation, which is wrong. Some show flared fittings in one installation, then use compression fittings in the next picture.

Is there an OBT or qualified technician in Y/A that can tell me what the Canadian National or Ontario code says?

Thanks. I saw that one. No reference in there to fuel line fittings.
