1. Rationale
The current applicable O.N. rating range for Procedure D of D2699 specifies a range from 72 to 108 (without a decimal point). The lack of a decimal point here is inconsistent with other parts of the test method. Precedence has been set by Subcommittee E to adjust the minimum Cetane Number level in D975 from 40 to 40. to avoid any ambiguity (D02 10-04 Item 33). The applicable O.N. rating range for Procedures D of D2699 should be updated to be from 72.0 to 108.0.
