Super Diesel

[viking]

Hi,... I have been trying to find out the real differences between Super Diesel and Regular Diesel sold in Sri Lanka.... we all know that there are various types or rather grades of fuel available..... and in the case of Diesel fuel it is the Cetane rating and the additives that are mixed in it can makes the Diesel superior to the regular type. But I don't know if any of this info is available on the Super Diesel that is sold in Sri Lanka..... So what exactly is Super Diesel in SL...?

Thanks MadMax.... the expected superiority is listed as in the below table. It's the Cetane rating and the absense of Carbon residue of some sort. But what really goes in to the tank at the pumps is another story we wouldn't get to know.....
