[quote]<i>Originally posted by spbed</i> <br /><br />Where I live diesel is higher then 87 octane. What then is the benefit of a diesel engine? [:D][;)] <br /> <br /> <br />Ahem... Desiel is measured over time it takes to complete a burn. It is called "Cetane" if memory serves. <br /> <br />Cetane ratings of 50 or better really gives a Detroit or Caterpiller something to chew on. I will have to look it up. But we dont use the word octane with desiel fuel. <br /> <br />Higher cetane levels provide greater power over time for the power stroke.
