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.

New Mexico, USA considers B5 requirement
New Mexico, USA considers B5 requirement

Add another state to those considering a biodiesel blend requirement. New Mexico’s house and senate are looking at identical bills that would require 5 percent biodiesel in the state’s fuel supply.
Senate Bill 489 and House Bill 218 would require that all diesel fuel used in state vehicles must include B5 by July 1, 2010. The bill would affect all diesel fuel sold in the state by July 1, 2012.
