CETANE TEST
U could fill a bucket of one brand and fill a bucket of another brand, lite a match on each bucket one at a time and record how many seconds till it burns or explodes. I would recommend u have a fire retardant suit on and a fire extinguisher on hand. Note: Don't try this at home. ;)

You might get diesel to burn in a bucket if you add a wick, and then light the wick. Otherwise, good luck getting it to burn, much less explode.
