Thanks. My tractor need the cetain to start because in the summer even if its a 110 degrees outside it would still need either to start. I've used cetain booster in it and it feel as if it picked up some power. When I take of in 6th geer it will now take off at an idle, before I put the cetain booster in it would no even take off at full throtle, it would just stall.

Why do you believe that your tractor needs more cetane?

Do you know what cetane does for a diesel? It is not more power! Only better starting!

The cetane improvers for diesel fuel are actually of a lower density than the fuel itself. So while you are improving the starting and idling characteristics, the power output (BTU content) per unit volume of fuel injected will actually DECREASE. Unless you increase the amount of fuel delivered, you will see only a loss in power.

The best power fuel you can get your hands on is the thickest "straight" #2 diesel you can find....
