What Fuel to Use in Canada

Caution
Use of diesel fuel other than Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (15 ppm sulfur
maximum) will cause damage to
the exhaust after-treatment
system. This damage would not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not use marine,
locomotive, or boiler distillate fuel
since it may contain higher sulfur
levels.
Use diesel fuel that meets CAN/
CGSB-3.517 specification in
Canada. Contact a fuel supplier for
questions about fuel.
Diesel Fuel Types
Fuels are blended for seasonal
changes. Diesel Type A fuel is
blended for better cold weather
starting in extreme conditions. This
may cause some power and fuel
economy loss. If Type A fuel is used
in warmer temperatures, stalling and
hard starting may occur. Diesel
Type B fuel is blended for higher
temperatures experienced during
most of the year.
Premium Diesel Fuel
If available, premium diesel fuel
(FQP-1A) corresponding to the
Engine Manufacturers Association
(EMA) Recommended Guideline
could provide better starting and
vehicle performance with less noise.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel
produced from vegetable oils or
animal fats that have been
chemically modified for normal
engine performance.
Driving and Operating
Caution
Do not use home-made biodiesel
or home test kits because the
quality cannot be verified by
approved scientific methods. Do
not use raw vegetable oil or other
unmodified bio-oils, fats,
or blends of vegetable oil with
diesel. They could damage the
fuel system and engine, and
damages would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
Biodiesel blends
Biodiesel blends that meet the CAN/
CGSB-3.522 specifications up to
20% (B20) can be used. Avoid the
use of biodiesel blends above 20%,
as they may damage the engine
and fuel system. For detailed
information on the use of biodiesel,
see Fuel for Diesel Engines on
page 9-54.
