Abstract
Disclosed is a diesel fuel comprising a base fuel selected from the group consisting of liquid hydrocarbons of the diesel boiling range, alcohols, and mixtures thereof, and an effective cetane number-increasing amount of at least one beta-nitroalkene of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl groups having from 1 to about 13 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the sum of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 contains from 2 to about 13 carbon atoms.
