A comment on diesel #1 and #2. Both are a mixture of hydrocarbons, but #1 has
a lower molecular wt
range (C9 to C16), and that range is narrower. It a higher vapor pressure,
lower boiling
range(300-550 degrees F) and lower gel point as noted below. #2 (C9-C20) has a
broader molecular wt
Holy Moley, so #1 Diesel is Kerosene. Talk about a breakthrough. Thanks Bob!

The solvent effect is interesting.Perhaps keeping the injector cleanis the benefit? But I thought that modern diesel had detergents and
such included in it to do this.

emissions testing to share w/i a few months.
Correct me if I'm wrong, basing this
Ok, so that's a pretty good answer on the cetane question, anyone know
anything about the diesel additive method of avoiding diesel taxes?

Aren't there tax credits for biodiesel fuel (in the US at least) that
would negate the effects of having to pay taxes?

I don't know, you tell me?
And...I'm meaning from the prospect of *selling* the finished product, not producing @ home.

As for #1 diesel, I have seen it at truck refueling places, where you
can sometimes get #1, #2, or a 50/50 blend of them, but never at the
local gas station. And even the #2 diesel at truck stops seems to run
better than the diesel from in town gas stations. I suspect that

I thought that biodiesel already had a bit higher cetane rating than#2 diesel?I know that my truck knocks alot on D2 compared to
biodiesel, or even B20.
Honestly, I don't know. I've read some research which indicates that BD
has less energy per unit than D2, and some which swears that it has
Most of what I've read implies that B100 has less btu/gallon the #2
diesel. However I think this does vary based on what feedstock it's
made of. I know that when I ran a '74 mercedes diesel from SVO
instead of diesel, all of the knocking at idle went away and you could
hear the lifters again,
2. I noticed someone once say that some additive could be added to
completed BD, to the tune of a couple cents per gallon, that would increase
the cetane rating of the fuel and push it to higher-than-D2 level
