Boiler Room Question

Fellow Brownstoners,

We have a 3-family house that currently uses a GAS boiler. At one point, there used to be a FUEL boiler in the same spot. Look at picture of old plan w/ fuel boiler. My question is, now that that room is a gas boiler, does it still need the requirements of the fuel boiler, ie 4″ CMU walls and 26 ga metal for ceiling. Am I able to take those walls down and open the space up?
