Doktor M.B. used to post the annual Chevron diesel fuel report, and I
remember reading the section on fuel additives / cetane boosters, which is
not a straight forward problem.  Very few chemicals are effective, and I
had the impression that the cost / benefit analysis doesn't bode well.

A couple years ago (last I checked) MB posted on the BEVO site that the
only allowed fuel additives are for killing microbial growth and
de-watering / anti-gel.

Speaking of which, I need to de-water the tanks of my two oil burners,
haven't done that yet this cold season...
