Abstract
Diesel fuels or blending stocks having excellent lubricity, oxidative stability and high cetane number are produced from non-shifting Fischer-Tropsch processes by separating the Fischer-Tropsch product into a lighter and heavier fractions, e.g., at about 700.degree. F., subjecting the 700.degree. F.+fraction to hydro-treating, and combining the 700.degree. F.- portion of the hydrotreated product with the lighter fraction that has not been hydrotreated.
