AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost (ACB) is a concentrated diesel fuel additive designed to improve ignition quality by raising the fuel's cetane number. It can increase cetane by up to eight points, helping promote easier starting, smoother combustion and improved diesel engine performance.

Cetane number describes how readily diesel fuel ignites after it is injected into the combustion chamber. A higher cetane number generally means a shorter ignition delay, allowing combustion to begin sooner and more predictably.

What is cetane?

Cetane is to diesel fuel what octane is to petrol – but it measures a different characteristic. Learn how cetane number affects diesel ignition and combustion in our guide to diesel cetane ratings.

Improves Diesel Ignition Quality

Diesel engines rely on the heat generated by compression to ignite fuel after injection. Fuel with suitable cetane quality ignites more readily, helping reduce ignition delay and promote more consistent combustion.

By increasing the cetane number of the fuel, AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost can help improve starting, smooth engine operation and maximise the performance available from the fuel. AMSOIL also recommends it to help reduce smoke and emissions associated with poor combustion.

Raises Cetane by Up to Eight Points

Fuel quality can vary, and an engine cannot take full advantage of fuel that does not provide the ignition characteristics it requires. AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost uses concentrated cetane-improving chemistry to raise the cetane number by up to eight points, providing a simple way to improve the ignition quality of diesel fuel.

Suitable for a Wide Range of Diesel Engines

AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost is recommended for light-duty and heavy-duty diesel engines, including on-road, off-road and marine applications. It is suitable for use with ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) and is compatible with biodiesel fuels.

It is also compatible with modern diesel exhaust-emissions equipment, including diesel particulate filters (DPFs), making it suitable for both older diesel engines and modern emissions-equipped vehicles.
