    Abstract: A method and apparatus for calculating the derived cetane number of a liquid hydrocarbon sample is disclosed. The method comprises combusting (19) the sample in a constant volume combustion chamber (45). The method comprises obtaining (23) a pressure versus time combustion profile (69) of the sample wherein the profile comprises a first region (81) and a second region (83), the first region (81) including the start of combustion, and the second region (83) relating to a later time than the first region. The method comprises selecting a single data point from the second region (83) of the combustion profile (69), said data point representing a combustion delay (CD) of the combustion profile; and calculating a derived cetane number for the sample using the time value associated with said single data point.

    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the vapour pressure of a liquid hydrocarbon sample is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a sealed chamber (25) for receiving the sample. The chamber (25) is at least partially defined by a moveable element (26) such that moving the moveable element (26) alters the volume of the chamber (25). The apparatus comprises a displacement sensor (29) configured to measure a displacement of the movable element (26).

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for mixing additives into a fluid fuel at a predictable concentration. The method comprises: taking a sample of the fuel; mixing the additive into the sample in metered proportions; testing the sample to determine that the correct amount of additive is present; storing the remaining fuel until it is time for the fuel to be used; and mixing the additive into the remainder of the fuel in the same metered proportions.
