Unlike gasoline engines which use the constant firing of spark plugs to ignite fuel in the combustion chamber, diesel engines use the heat of compression to create ignition explosions.\u00a0 Compression ratios are much higher for diesel engines, and fuel is directly injected into the compressed air at exactly the correct time.\u00a0 With diesel fuel’s already low flammability and propensity for poor quality, along with the eventual small amount of compression loss over an engine’s lifespan, explosions inside combustion chambers in older diesel engines can lose the capability to provide quality power and performance.\u00a0 Sluggish engine performance will slowly wear on vital engine parts as well as use larger amounts of fuel than necessary.\u00a0 This will become costly and inconvenient for drivers of older diesels.\u00a0 A cetane booster<\/em> additive can increase the flammability and explosiveness of diesel fuel and restore power to older diesel engines.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cetane is short for cetane number and refers to the measure of the detonation of diesel fuel.\u00a0 Because cetane is very flammable and ignites easily under compression, it is given a cetane number of 100.\u00a0 Diesel engines perform the best when using diesel fuels with cetane numbers of 50 and higher.\u00a0 Many diesel fuels have poorer quality and lower octane levels than other types of fuel.\u00a0 Diesel fuel is also considerably less flammable and explosive than gasoline and other fuels.\u00a0 A cetane booster<\/em> additive increases a diesel fuel’s detonation ability or cetane number, and it promotes added power and performance that has been lost over the many miles that have been put on an engine.\u00a0 The consequential, rapid ignition also reduces slow starts and improves cold starting in diesel engines which lengthens battery and starter lifespans.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By improving performance and restoring lost horsepower, a cetane booster<\/em> additive can improve fuel efficiency and protect internal engine parts.\u00a0 This provides substantial, long term financial savings for consumers and helps to avoid the inconvenience created when part failure occurs.\u00a0 Needing fewer repairs means drivers can continue to use their trucks to sustain their livelihood.\u00a0 Cetane Boost Additive is a product offered by Amsoil<\/strong><\/em>, one of the most respected and popular producers of synthetic fluids and fuel additives on the market.\u00a0 This product increases cetane values in diesel fuel by up to seven points and can be used along side other fuel additives such as a cold flow improver or detergent concentrate.\u00a0 The use of fuel additives such as these save significant amounts of money for consumers and lengthen the life of diesel engines by improving performance and restoring lost horsepower.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Cetane Booster Delivers Quality Results Unlike gasoline engines which use the constant firing of spark plugs to ignite fuel in the combustion chamber, diesel engines use the heat of compression to create ignition explosions.\u00a0 Compression ratios are much higher for diesel engines, and fuel is directly injected into the compressed air at exactly the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[23,20,19,22,21],"class_list":["post-424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-machine","tag-event","tag-promo","tag-promote","tag-refer","tag-rest"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=424"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/machine.su\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
