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 ...

3. Winter diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_diesel_fuel

   In North America, gas stations offer two types of diesel fuel – according to ASTM D975 [5] these are named No. 1 and No. 2 fuel. No. 1 fuel (similar to kerosene) has a natural CFPP of -40 °C but it is more expensive than No. 2 fuel. Adding No. 1 fuel will lower the CFPP of No. 2 fuel – adding 10% will lower the CFPP temperature by about 5 ...

4. Amyl nitrate - Wikipedia

6. Diesel fuel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_fuel

   Due to the higher density, diesel fuel offers a higher volumetric energy density: the density of EN 590 diesel fuel is defined as 0.820 to 0.845 kg/L (6.84 to 7.05 lb/US gal) at 15 °C (59 °F), about 9.0-13.9% more than EN 228 gasoline (petrol)'s 0.720–0.775 kg/L (6.01–6.47 lb/US gal) at 15 °C, which should be put into consideration when ...

7. Cerium(III) oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerium(III)_oxide

   Major automotive applications for cerium(III) oxide are as a catalytic converter for the oxidation of CO and NO x emissions in the exhaust gases from motor vehicles, [1] [2] and secondly, cerium oxide finds use as a fuel additive to diesel fuels, which results in increased fuel efficiency and decreased hydrocarbon derived particulate matter ...
