No, Steve D'Antonio isn't an idiot, but too often these "experts," who style
themselves thus, fluff up their articles with their own nonsensical
perceptions. Imagine, he's writing *several* articles on Diesel fuel. No doubt, the
important content could be written in one short paragraph, but when he is
done, he will have earned his wages for several months. More importantly of
course, he will have contributed to the publication of fatter magazines filled
with ads claiming to fix the problems he brings to the fore. This is how
publishing works, and it's just a fact of life that it creates a lot of FUD. Just
what the doctor ordered.
Most Diesel fuel available in the US has a cetane number well over 40, and
that's just fine for most engines. As someone said, it's likely that what you
get in any given area of the country came from the same refinery. If you
think you need to improve it, there are additives available, but none of them
will increase the cetane number more than 4 or 5 points. Buy it from a reputable
manufacturer, who can show you test results from an independent lab.
Regards,
John

better...You will often pay more for higher cetane fuel; however, your
improved fuel economy will often offset the increased expense"
I guess that makes the writer, Steve D'Antonio, an idiot.
