1. A formulation and cetane improvement based on organic nitrates for alcohol-based renewable diesel fuel, said formulation comprising:
between 90 and 99% of a 4-carbon alcohol fuel;
between 0% to 5% polyethylene glycol dinitrate with an average molecular weight of 200 daltons; and
between 1% and 10% of organic nitrates for increasing the explosiveness of butanol, said organic nitrates comprise at least one of 3-butoxy-1,2-propanediol dinitrate, or 2-butoxy-1,3-propanediol dinitrate.
