Re: [biofuel] Need Cetane Help
craig - I am sure sure of the answer to your question, but would you mind telling me where you sent your fuel to be tested, what quantities you needed to send in and how much it cost? Thanks!

Everything came in looking good except for a very low cetane number - 29. I have never seen this low a number in a BioD test and do not know what we can do to raise it. Any ideas out there?
