Octane Number V.S Cetane Number

Octane Number
Cetane Number
 
Octane number (Also known as octane rating) is a number which indicates the performance (Namely, the compressibility) of the engine or aviation fuel.
Fuels with a high cetane number are used mainly for diesel engines.
 
Fuels with a high octane number are used in the high performance petrol (Gasoline) engines, the higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand before detonating (igniting). Petrol (Gasoline) engines use a high octane rating fuel because they rely on the compressibility of the fuel. Why? Because petrol engines require higher compression ratios as they compress both the air and the fuel as a mixture without igniting, which are then ignited at the end of the compression stroke using spark plugs. Therefore, high compressibility of the fuel matters mainly for petrol engines. Keep in mind that using a fuel with lower octane numbers for the petrol (gasoline) engines may lead to a problem with the engine such as the problem of engine knocking.
On the other hand, fuels with lower octane numbers, but high cetane numbers are used mainly for the diesel engines (Also referred to as compression-ignition engines) which do not compress the fuel, but rather compress only the air and then inject the fuel into the heated air which is heated up by the compression process.
