I saw this fairly long tank çar with many hatches painted red white and black like a cn loco in a mixed freight.What would it be used for extra fuel? It was not behind the loco.
BN/BNSF discontinued fuel tenders quite a while ago. FEC uses natural gas fuel tenders between two ES44C4's. What you saw is probably a company service tank car for moving fuel to terminals from the supplier.
CN 911 training car possibly?

It was almost certainly the training car Zug mentioned. We did have a former UP natural gas tender (CNW 1) in the same colours between two SD40-2W's for a while about 8 or 10 years ago, but it has long since been returned to the U.S. and our other natural gas tenders (made from intermodal well cars) have languished in the Edmonton dead line for years.
More recently they made up a small firefighting train of tank cars and a bulkhead flatcar with pumps, numbered CNFD 100001 to 100005, but it's all white and red and so far hasn't moved far from its home base in Kamloops. It's been named "Poseidon".
