Driving and Operating 9-59 What Fuel to Use in Canada and Mexico (Diesel) Use only diesel fuel with ultra low sulfur content (15 ppm maximum). 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. { 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. 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. Biodiesel Biodiesel is a renewable fuel produced from vegetable oils or animal fats that have been chemically modified for normal engine performance.
