U.S. offerings of Diesel (ULSD) Cetane

is generally in the 38-40 range.

European Diesel (Lots of Which is refined in the U.S.) is Cetane levels of 48-55.

40% of the Diesel Refined in the U.S. is shipped Abroad (More Profit)
[The Excrement they dare not try and sell overseas is offered to you @ your local Pump as "Diesel"]

Injectors,Injection Pumps and your Engine's Health DEPEND on the Quality of
Diesel that's put in your tank.

If I had any question about a Tank of Fuel...
(Especially since U.S. Diesel is CRAP to begin with)
I'd pump it OUT in a Second!!!

Synthetic Two Cycle Outboard Oil is a Viable "Fix" for the Deplorable lack of
Lubricity the Refiners get away with selling in the U.S.

Redline 85 Plus will help with the Cetane levels,BUT you Ain't NEVER enjoy
50 Cetane no matter how much you add to a Tank!
