U.S., Canadian fuel specs differ
U.S., Canadian fuel specs differ
Fuel quality specifications in Canada and the United States are similar, but they differ for those doing business on both sides of the border.
On one side, through the appropriate ASTM committee channels, the U.S. biodiesel industry has been working with those in the petroleum and other relevant industries to adjust the ASTM diesel fuel specification, D 975, to allow up to B5. Technically, this would mean that there would be no distinction to draw between pure hydrocarbon diesel fuel and B5 diesel fuel in the United States.
