Diesel Fuel Types
Canadian fuels are blended for
seasonal changes. Diesel Type “A”
fuel is blended for better cold
weather starting, below −18°C (0°F);
however, you might notice 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 temperatures
above −18°C (0°F).
Premium Diesel Fuel
Diesel fuels corresponding to the
Engine Manufacturers Association
(EMA) Recommended Guideline on
Premium Diesel Fuel (FQP‐1A)
could provide better starting,
less noise, and better vehicle
performance, but their use is not
required.
Biodiesel
What is biodiesel?
Biodiesel is a fuel produced from
vegetable oils or animal fats that
have been chemically modified to
reduce the possibility of damage to
the fuel system and engine.
Notice: Raw vegetable oil or
other unmodified bio-oils or fats
are not biodiesel and must not be
used in your vehicle as they
could damage the fuel system
and engine.
What not to use
Do not use home‐made biodiesel in
your vehicle since its quality cannot
be verified by approved scientific
methods. Home test kits are not
approved scientific methods.
Notice: Any damage caused by
raw, unmodified, or home-made
biodiesel would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty.
