    Does Canada run #1 diesel all year long?
    Every time I fill up in Canada diesel is clear, not brownish/greenish biodisel blend that truck stops sell down here.

    No we don't. You will find the yellow stuff sometimes.

    If you buy it in Canada you never have to worry about it gelling on you. They mix it at the refinery. We don't have 2 choices of fuel at the pump.

    Normally from what I've seen they'll sell #2 all summer and when coming into fall they'll start switching over to #1 diesel. No point in running #1 in summer here as most places see temperatures in excess of 25 Celsius in summer.
