Availability of diesel in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland

Was planning a trip to New Foundland via Nova Scotia in August of this year and was wondering what anyone knew of the availability of #2 diesel for my MB 3500?

  • Canada mandated Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel a year or more before the USA did, so yes, our MB, Ford, GMC, Dodge trucks and other diesel powered RV's all run on the same fuel this side of the border. Sounds like this trip will be a good learning experience for you !!??
  • The still send semi's up there to deliver goods, so they will have diesel.
  • I had no problem finding diesel when we visited Newfoundland.
    Enjoy your trip. The people in Newfoundland are about the nicest you can meet.
  • So, in particular, there are a lot of gas stations in Nova Scotia and New Foundland that sells #2 diesel? Not questioning your answer just wanting to make sure I don't get stranded.
  • Lots of stations have diesel. Use Gasbuddy to check for prices.

    Generally diesel is cheaper in Canada than Gas.
  • Depends on the time of year. Should be in August. Diesel number one is sold when cold and sometimes a blend of the two is available.
