BIODIESEL * Canada - Manitoba truckers brace for flawed biodiesel rule
If truckers have to fill up with biodiesel, they should at least know the blend they're pumping into their tanks, argues MTA.
Winnipeg,MAN,Canada -Today's Trucking -14 Sept 2009: -- In just a few weeks Manitoba will become the first province in Canada to mandate biodiesel. And, not surprisingly, the region's truckers are none too happy... All diesel fuel sold in the province as of Nov. 1 must contain a B2 average (2 percent biodiesel), Energy Minister, Jim Rondeau, recently announced... Higher blends of biodiesel are known to cause gelling and start-up issues in older engines operating in colder climates, like say, most of Manitoba throughout much of the year... At the very least, retail fuel pumps should be properly labeled to reveal the volume of the biodiesel being sold, says Bob Dolyniuk, general manager of the Manitoba Trucking Association. But, so far, there's been no indication that the government will implement any labeling requirements...Labels: biodiesel
