It should be listed on the pump. Generally speaking, diesel fuel ignition quality is not measured in octanes, as these are a unit for gasoline. Diesel fuel is measured in cetane not octane.

  • Regular diesel--48
  • Premium diesel--55
  • Biodiesel (B100)--55
  • Biodiesel blend (B20)--50
  • Synthetic diesel--55

A label should be affixed to the pump that states both the fuel type and cetane number. It's important to find a station that dispenses fuel of the cetane number recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
