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.
Biodiesel blends
It is acceptable to use diesel fuel
containing up to 20% biodiesel
(B20). For low level, under 5%,
biodiesel blends (B1 to B5), the fuel
you use should meet the latest
version of specification CAN/
CGSB-3.520 (ULS). At the time of
printing of this manual, a CGSB
standard for B6-B20 is under
development and has not been
published. Until a CGSB B6-B20
specification is available, biodiesel
blends containing more than 5%
and up to 20% biodiesel must meet
the latest version of ASTM
specification D7467 (Biodiesel
blend, B6-B20). If there are
questions about the
biodiesel-containing fuels you are
using, contact your fuel supplier.
Notice:
Certain driving patterns
are not compatible with biodiesel
use. It is the operator
’
s
responsibility to ensure that
biodiesel in the vehicle
’
s tank
does not lead to engine, fuel
system, or exhaust after
‐
treatment system damage.
We neither encourage nor
discourage the use of biodiesel
blends for vehicles. As a renewable
fuel, biodiesel provides some
environmental benefits. However,
biodiesel has unique properties and
needs to be handled differently than
diesel fuel. Its use presents
additional risks and may not be
appropriate in all situations. Certain
vehicle operating modes increase
these risks and should be avoided.
Read further to determine if your
driving habits are compatible with
the use of biodiesel.
.
Biodiesel fuel quality degrades
with time and exposure to high
temperature much more quickly
than conventional diesel fuel.
More frequent refueling provides
the best opportunity to have a
supply of fresh fuel.
Owners who have very low fuel
usage or who have vehicles
stored for extended periods of
time should avoid the use of
biodiesel. Storage at hot ambient
temperatures will accelerate
biodiesel degradation.
When vehicles will be stored for
extended periods of time
(greater than one month), they
should be run out of biodiesel to
below one-quarter tank, refueled
with conventional Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel fuel, and driven
several miles before storage.
