CAN/CGSB-3.517-2025
This National Standard of Canada applies to two types of diesel fuel, Type A and Type B. Both are suitable for
use in high-speed diesel engine powered equipment for on-road and off-road applications and in select equipment
powered by medium speed diesel engines.
The diesel fuel may contain up to 5% by volume biodiesel.
Type A is intended for use when ambient temperatures require better low-temperature properties than Type B.
Fuel meeting this standard may be used for underground mining applications that were formerly covered by
CAN/CGSB-3.16 (see footnote a of Table 1 and Annex C for notes related to flash point).
See Annex B for regulations that apply to diesel fuels.
The testing and evaluation of a product against this standard may require the use of materials and/or equipment
that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use.
Anyone using this standard has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate
health and safety practices in conjunction with any applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
Units of measurement – Quantities and dimensions used in this standard are provided in units from the International
System of Units (SI units). This standard expresses the industry standard nominal units of measurement in North
America of “% by mass” and “% by volume”. The SI equivalent expressions for these units are % (m/m) and % (V/V)
respectively.
