I'm not a petro-engineer - so not sure if I'm qualified to answer. But, I do read test results a bit. If you're concerned, why not just pick an additive that has been tested and proven to work? The US Military, Stanadyne, CAV, Power Service, etc. all have published test results - along with info on how much to add per gallon. And, if you want an organic additive - here are a few: Canola oil (LEAR or Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed) - visc at 40 degrees C = 37, Cetane - 40-50 Castor oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 297 Corn oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 35 Cotton-seed oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 33.5 Crambe oil (Abyssinian Mustard)- visc at 40 degrees C = 53.6 Linseed oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 27.2 Peanut oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 39.6 Rapeseed oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 37 Safflower oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 31.3 High-oleic Safflower oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 41.2 Sessame oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 35.5 Soybean oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 32.6 Sunflower oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 37.1 Tallow oil - visc at 40 degrees C = 51.1 Certified Biodiesel ASTM D-6751 - visc at 40 degrees C = 1.9 - 6 , Cetane - 45-65
