The article presents the results of tests which were supposed to determine the influence of dodecanol addition to diesel oil on Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP). Tested were the mixtures of diesel oil and ethanol, with the volumetric percentage of ethanol of 5, 10 and 15%. The maximum dodecanol addition represented 20%. Determination of the temper...

... low-temperature characteristics of fuels are determined in the EN 590 standard, in accordance with which the basis for grading fuels is the CFPP value. For temperate climate, six grades of diesel oil have been distinguished (Table 1). Diesel oil grades admitted for sale in Poland in accordance with the PN-EN 590 +A1:2011 standard are intended for three seasons:  summer season -grade B;  transition season -grade D;  winter season -grade F. Apart from the fuel low-temperature properties, a major parameter is the fuel water content. ...

... Compared to all the samples investigated, the fuel ON-ET10, with 10% ethanol content, was found with the lowest value of cold filter plugging point amounting to −30°C. The improvement of low-temperature properties may result from the addition of dodecanol, which improves lowtemperature properties for low concentrations of ethanol in diesel fuel [21]. This blend meets Grade F requirements for temperate climates and Grade 1 requirements for Arctic climates, as does the fuel sample ON-ET5. ...

The article presents findings of the comparative analyses of the selected physicochemical parameters of diesel fuel and diesel-ethanol blends with addition of dodecanol, used in order to stabilise the blend Diesel fuel and the blends were tested for density, flash point and cold filter plugging point. The physicochemical propertis were assessed in seven samples with different proportional volume of ethanol contained in diesel fuel. Homogeneous blends were produced by adding 5% dodecanol to blends containining between 5% and 30% ethanol. The study was conducted to assess the selected physicochemical properties of diesel-ethanol blends with addition of dodecanol and to compare the obtained results with requirement of EN590:2022-08
