And if we had an issue with a reading above 10ppm, I heard about it immediately. And we also had to import biodiesel to comply with the government standard for using a percentage of renewable based diesel.

So no carbon tax should be even considered, until all fuel used in Canada, is held to the same standard. And I am referring to fuel, not to the actual emissions produced by the engine, since it is the fuel that the carbon tax is applied to. And the carbon tax should be applied to all oil imports as well. |
I was referring to emissions. Fuel quality and standards are required to meet said emissions, but as I said marine in particular isn’t required to meet the same standards as your pick-up like other large HP equipment. I can’t say for certain but I am sure that the reason you had to make your diesel meet the standards was because it was used in more than just the 797s. It was used on-highway as well I would bet.
As for adding carbon tax to marine fuel or raising the fuel requirements would just cause what to Canadians, and only Canadians, importing goods? Yes the good old carbon tax inflation cycle.
