Cetane boosts are: Amyl Nitrate, Amyl Nitrite, or Iso Propyl Nitrate. These are necessary to smooth ignition above 10000 rpm. ... "Octane 104 Plus" also works, but I would seriously question that as octane and cetane are opposite measurements of the same type of thing (i.e. high cetane means low octane & vice-versa). 2, record 1, English, - high%20cetane%20fuel%20oil

Un autre partenariat [...] a été créé pour explorer les techniques de conversion du tall-oil (un sous-produit nocif de la fabrication de papier kraft) en un carburant diesel à indice de cétane très élevé. Le «biodiesel» n'est pas seulement un carburant renouvelable; ainsi que les tests l'ont démontré, il produit moins d'émissions polluantes, en particulier particulaires, que le diesel ordinaire. 1, record 1, French, - carburant%20diesel%20%C3%A0%20indice%20de%20c%C3%A9tane%20%C3%A9lev%C3%A9

D'importants efforts sont entrepris ces derniers temps pour développer des carburants (essence et diesel) produisant moins d'émissions. On parle de «reformulated fuel». Pour les carburants diesel, on cherche à diminuer la teneur en aromates (benzène) et en soufre tout en augmentant l'indice de cétane. 5, record 1, French, - carburant%20diesel%20%C3%A0%20indice%20de%20c%C3%A9tane%20%C3%A9lev%C3%A9
