2. Cetane improver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_improver

   The cetane number is a key property of diesel fuel, as it measures its aptitude to self-ignite in the combustion chamber. [8] The auto ignition temperature of diesel fuel is around 220 °C (428 °F) at atmospheric pressure. Cetane improver additives are used to decrease this temperature and lead to quicker combustion, by increasing the cetane ...

   Fuel additives in general Ether and other flammable hydrocarbons have been used extensively as starting fluid for many difficult-to-start engines, especially diesel engines; Nitromethane, or "nitro", is a high-performance racing fuel; Acetone is a vaporization additive, mainly used with methanol racing fuel

4. Winter diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_diesel_fuel

   Winter diesel fuel (also known as winter diesel, alpine diesel, or winterised diesel) refers to diesel fuel enhanced to prevent it from gelling in cold weather conditions. In general it is achieved by treatment with additives that change the low temperature characteristics of the fuel.

5. Amyl nitrate - Wikipedia

7. Cetane index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetane_index

   Cetane index is used as a substitute for the cetane number of diesel fuel. The cetane index is calculated based on the fuel's density and distillation range (ASTM D86). There are two methods used, ASTM D976 and D4737. The older D976, or "two-variable equation" is outdated and should no longer be used for cetane number estimation.
