One measure used to indicate the ignition delay in diesel engines is the Cetane number. This number represents the time delay between the start of fuel injection into the combustion chamber and the start of fuel combustion. A lower ignition delay leads to more uniform combustion. The minimum Cetane number for gas oil should be 50. The Cetane number depends on the production process of the gas oil, with higher Cetane numbers indicating better combustion quality.
