There are lots of benefits to using Dieselex Gold in your trucks and equipment. The here biggest ones are increased horsepower, fuel efficiency and increased protection of your engine. All these benefits are a result of Dieselex Gold’s proven engineering that provides real world results.

No, Dieselex Gold doesn’t have any cold flow or cold weather improvers in it. During the winter months a cold flow improver would have to be added on top of Dieselex Gold.

No there isn’t. Western Canadian refiners produce a seasonal fuel with the main difference being cloud point of the fuel. Cloud point is when wax crystals start to form in the fuel due to lower temperatures. Cloud point adjustment doesn’t affect the density or energy content of Type “B”– Automotive Low-Sulfur–diesel fuel from season to season. Refiners follow a strict cloud schedule based on province and zones within each province. Other operating characteristics of the fuel are very similar throughout each of the months within the year.

Retail fuel stations are open to the general public, may have limited operating hours, and are mainly located in urban markets.

Cardlock fuel stations are available 24/7, 365 days a year. They offer regular pumps and high speed pumps for all vehicle types. In order to access UFA Cardlock fuel stations, customers must have a UFA branded fueling card.

You bet, our fuel comes from major suppliers in Western Canada who meet or exceed the standards set out by the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) and the World Charter of Fuel Cleanliness.

We then put it to the test with our Fuel Quality Assurance program. This program is designed to provide you with the high-quality fuels that give optimal power, efficiency, and engine performance. As part of our quality program, sampling is done across our Cardlock and bulk delivery network to get an accurate representation of the fuel that is being provided from our suppliers.

Retail prices are decided based on crude oil rates, refiner margin, marketing margin and taxes. Retail prices increase and decrease over time, at no fixed rate or timeline, and will vary based on local market competition.

Cardlock fuel pricing adjusts daily based on local refiner wholesale market pricing, also knowns as the "Rack Price". UFA Cardlock pricing is comprised of aggregate wholesale rack prices, freight, marketing margin and taxes.

Retail fuel stations offer the same price for all customers which is why they post their pricing at the site. Cardlocks offer pricing to customers generally based on annual volume expectations, among other factors. Cardlocks do not post pricing at their sites, which is why UFA has introduced Fuel Pricing Online using CardLink, so that you can see your price anytime.

Absolutely! The fastest and easiest way to get your pricing is by signing in to myUFA and selecting view fuel prices on the Cardlink tile.

At 5 cents per litre more than conventional diesel, Dieselex Gold’s cost is in line with other premium diesels. Dieselex Gold does more than the competitors by protecting your fuel during long-term storage from season to season, increasing horsepower, and increasing fuel efficiency.
