Easy way to measure cetane?
Is there an easy way to measure cetane level from a diesel pump? If you check a gasoline pump the octane is labeled, and you can see how it tested last inspection (at least that's how it is in my state). But not for diesel. How do I find out what cetane is that I'm buying?
Thanks.
Thanks.
