Abstract
An ignition quality tester includes an unit for repeatedly injecting a precise quantity of fuel under controlled conditions into a combustion chamber where monitored combustion can be carried out. The tester can be used in an in-line feedback arrangement to permit the continual adjustment of a refining process to maintain the cetane number at a desired value.
