Improving-diesel-fuel

improving-diesel-fuel

So I’ve been using cetane booster for YEARS, I’m a huge fan of how it works with my models. Ever since I read about cetane being really useful for supporting and improving diesel fuel, I’ve been keeping my eye out for the cetane number in the diesel and in products like this that give it that extra kick. 

So what it is that cetane reacts to the kerosene in the fuel and helps the ether combust at a smoother rate. So then what happens is that you find the cetane shortens the ignition delay, so I don’t have to worry about anything like smoking problems. Especially since the more average/’cheaper’ diesel fuel tends to have a lower cetane number (somewhere in the 30s), stuff like Rush boosts those numbers up to the 50s and even 60s. And then this is good because it means that the fuel has more oxygen to burn, so it can go even faster than normal, with less faff.

It’s been amazing for my RC planes, the extra boost is just really satisfying to watch when I’m using them. It’s especially great for the more tricky custom engines I have, that don’t tend to work as well with just your standard diesel. AND it reduces exhaust emissions too, so that’s an added bonus. Basically, this stuff is like miracle juice!
