Abstract

Sixty-six samples of gasolines, representing commercial, military, and federal specification materials, and experimental blends were evaluated for motor octane number, research octane number, and cetane number. Through statistical analyses of the data, linear relationships between octane numbers and cetane numbers of these fuels were developed.
