Abstract
The cetane numbers of viscoreduced diesel fuels are significantly improved by intimately contacting same with an effective amount of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a carboxylic acid, or with an effective amount of a percarboxylic acid either in the presence or absence of hydrogen peroxide; the final product diesel fuels are also effectively deodorized and decolorized.
