Procedure
Another cetane improver was prepared as in Example 5 except that butyl acrylate was utilized and reacted with sulfur on a 1 to 1.5 mole basis. The desired product was obtained. When the cetane improver was tested at 0.3% in a 50/50% mixture of Fuel #1 and Fuel #2, a cetane improvement of 3.5 was obtained according to A.S.T.M. Test D 976.
