North West Upgrading’s Clean Performance Diesel is being formulated to make engines run more smoothly, reduce emissions and provide up to 30% better fuel economy than gasoline.

Cetane and why it matters.

Cetane is the key indicator of diesel quality, like octane is in gasoline. The higher the cetane number the better the diesel combustion, which results in improved performance, better fuel economy and fewer exhaust emissions.

The poor combustion characteristics of low cetane diesel can take a toll on your vehicle.  These inferior fuels leave behind deposits that directly impact performance, causing excessive engine vibrations and stress as well as more smoke and noise. Drivers experience a reduction in power, responsiveness and increase in fuel consumption and emissions.

The minimum cetane standard in Canada is currently at 40, while European diesel is over 50. NWU Clean Performance Diesel will have a cetane marker over 50, ensuring the smoothest and cleanest drive possible.

Diesel drives the provincial economy and is essential for its continual growth. NWU’s Clean Performance Diesel will help meet this increasing demand. After the province’s needs are met, NWU will be in a position to export its diesel to other regions.
