(1) In order to insure minimum cetane number of 40 a distillate diesel fuel should have minimum cetane index of 44 when ASTM D4737 test
method is used. A fuel with a higher cetane number is recommended to operate at a higher altitude or in cold weather.
(2) Density range allowed includes summer and winter diesel fuel grades. Fuel density varies depending on the sulfur level where high sulfur
fuels have higher densities. Some unblended alternative fuels have lower densities which are acceptable, if all the other properties meet this
specification.
