locomotive, or boiler distillate fuel
since it may contain higher sulfur
levels.
Diesel Fuel Types
For best results use Ultra Low
Sulfur Type B Diesel. This fuel is
blended for seasonal changes. In
extreme cold temperatures (below
-18 °C or 0 °F) Ultra Low Sulfur Type
A Diesel fuel can be used, but it
may cause power and fuel economy
losses. Avoid using Type A Diesel
fuel in warm or hot climates. Doing
so can result in stalling, poor
starting when the engine is hot, and
damage to the fuel injection system.
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 Blends in Canada
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
Refueling
Diesel fuel can foam when filling the
tank. This can cause the automatic
pump nozzle to shut off, even if the
tank is not full. If this happens, wait
for the foaming to stop, and then fill
the tank more slowly. See
{
Warning
Heat coming from the engine can
cause the fuel to expand and
force the fuel out of the tank.
If something ignites the fuel, a fire
could start. To help avoid this, fill
the tank slowly and only until the
nozzle shuts off. Do not top it off.
Clean up any spilled fuel.
Accidental Refueling with
Gasoline
Caution
If the vehicle is accidentally
refueled with gasoline, do not
continue driving the vehicle
except to get to a location where
it can be stopped safely. Driving
the vehicle will damage the fuel
system. Have the vehicle towed
to a qualified technician to have
the gasoline removed from the
tank and fuel system. Flush the
fuel system with Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel fuel to ensure all gasoline
is removed.
Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel
produced from vegetable oils or
animal fats that have been
chemically modified to make it
compatible with diesel fuel.
