SULPHUR content is the most important characteristic of a diesel fuel, as far as engine life is concerned, according to the author, assuming the fuel has a cetane number sufficiently high to provide satisfactory ignition and the purely mechanical problems of cleanliness and flow rate are satisfactorily handled.This is the net result of tests with a 5¾ x 8-in. precombustion-chamber diesel test engine, using the L-1-545 procedure with certain modifications.The fuels used varied in sulfur content from 0.12 to 1.43%, in cetane number from 41 to 61, and in viscosity at 100 F from 36 to 64 SSU.
