AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost
AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost
Product Details
AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost (ACB) raises the cetane number of diesel fuel up to seven points for maximum horsepower, increased fuel economy and easier starts in all diesel engines.
Product Description
Diesel engines operate best on fuel with cetane values of 50 or higher. Most diesel fuel sold in North America has a cetane value of 40-45. Diesel Cetane Boost delivers confidence in your diesel’s performance. Its concentrated formula uses unique chemistry to target and eliminate specific performance issues, maximizing diesel power.
Improves Fuel Quality for Peak Performance
Fuel with a higher cetane number provides for a more complete burn, resulting in improved performance. By increasing cetane, Diesel Cetane Boost improves the ignition quality of diesel fuel, maximizing available power and improving starting. It also smooths idle and reduces smoke and emissions.
Recommendations
Diesel Cetane Boost is recommended for use in all types of heavy- and light-duty, on-and off-road and marine diesel engines. Best performance is achieved when used with every tank of fuel. Excellent for use with ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel (ULSD). Compatible with biodiesel and all types of exhaust emission systems, including diesel particulate filters (DPFs). Follow the chart below. Add before filling tank. Excellent for use with AMSOIL Diesel Injector Clean and AMSOIL Diesel Cold Flow.
- Increases cetane up to 7 points
- Delivers maximum horsepower
- Increases fuel economy
- Improves startability
- Smooths idle
- Reduces smoke & emissions
- Safe for use in all diesel fuels, including biodiesel
- Alcohol-free

Will using Diesel Cetane Boost void engine warranties?
No. Diesel Cetane Boost is tested and proven and will not void engine warranties.
Can Diesel Cetane Boost be mixed with other AMSOIL diesel fuel additives?
Yes. Diesel Cetane Boost is fully compatible with Diesel Injector Clean (ADF), Diesel All-In-One (ADB) and Diesel Cold Flow (ADD).
What is the treat rate for Diesel Cetane Boost?
The optimum treat rate of the Diesel Cetane Boost is 6 ounces per 30 gallons of fuel.
What are cetane numbers/points?
The cetane number is a measure of a fuel's ignition delay, the time period between the start of injection and the first identifiable pressure increase during combustion of the fuel. The higher the cetane number the earlier the fuel will start to ignite that results in a shorter ignition delay period. The characteristic diesel "knock" occurs when the first portion of fuel that has been injected into the cylinder suddenly ignites after an initial delay. Once ignition occurs, all the remaining fuel burns smoothly as it leaves the injector nozzle. Minimizing this delay results in less unburned fuel in the cylinder at the beginning and less intense knock. In short, higher-cetane fuel usually causes an engine to run more smoothly and quietly.
Can AMSOIL Diesel Cetane Boost be used in any diesel engine?
Yes. Diesel Cetane Boost can be used in any diesel engine, and it is recommended for use in all types of heavy- and light-duty, on- and off-road and marine diesel engines.
