A diesel fuel substitute composition includes an alcohol, an acetal, and an additive comprising a component selected from the group consisting of C.sub.3-8 dialkyl ethers, alkylated phenols, RNO.sub.2, and combinations thereof. A method for forming the diesel fuel substitute is also provided.

Provided is a fuel-reducing composition for diesel internal combustion engines, which includes nanosized crushed nanomaterials and uses a lubricity improver to ensure sufficient dispersion. This allows for the cleaning of the combustion chamber and promotes complete combustion, which enhances output while reducing fuel consumption. By using the fuel-reducing composition for diesel internal combustion engines formed according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the size of the nanomaterials is limited, allowing for efficient cleaning of the combustion chamber without interfering with combustion. Without the use of surfactants for the dispersion of nanomaterials, a lubricity improver is employed to facilitate smooth dispersion while simultaneously protecting the combustion chamber of the engine and promoting complete combustion. Since the nanomaterials do not adhere to each other due to their size limitation and the use of the lubricity improver, combustion proceeds smoothly, leading to complete combustion and producing the desired effects.
