This study identified three groups of components for blending with DF-2 to reduce fuel cost for medium-speed diesel engines. The components were characterized, and blends were prepared to meet key properties in a guideline specification. In the first group, light cycle oils from catalytic cracking and a hydrocracker distillate were similar to DF-2 except that their lower cetane number would limit the amount in a blend. Second, residual oils and heavy distillates were limited by their effect on 90 percent distillation temperature. Finally, catalytic cracking fractionator bottoms meet most criteria, but contain catalyst fines which can cause unacceptable engine wear. Example calculations showed cost savings based on price differentials and energy content of the blend components. The economics of diesel ignition improver are also examined.
