How do I increase the cetane number of diesel?

When the cetane number in diesel fuel is too low, it can cause several problems, such as difficult starting, reduced power and more engine noise. In the Netherlands, the cetane number is usually around 50 to 52. In some cases, the cetane number abroad is much lower, sometimes around 44 to 46.

At that point, problems may occur that you would rather avoid and that do not have a positive effect on the vehicle. By increasing the cetane number of diesel fuel, your engine will start faster, deliver more power and, above all, make less noise.

A higher cetane number provides faster ignition, lower emissions and more energy. It is therefore clear that diesel engines benefit from a higher cetane number.

More power and less noise

When the cetane number in diesel fuel is too low, you may experience problems such as reduced power and engine noise. You can easily increase the cetane number yourself with a fuel additive.

When you add Lindemann Diesel Boost to your fuel tank, the cetane number is increased and your car receives more power and energy. It also helps the engine run more quietly.
