When evaluating the anti-knock prowess of motor fuels, precision and reliability take centre stage. Enter the CFR® F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit – the globally recognized gold standard for discerning and certifying the anti-knock characteristics of motor fuels, be it gasoline, fuel constituents, or alternative fuels. Since its inception in 1929, CFR has consistently established the benchmark for fuel rating test methods. In collaboration with the automotive and petroleum industries, we have continually evolved our CFR product line to empower fuel producers and engine manufacturers for seamless collaboration, creating high-performance products.
Setting Standards: CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating Engines
Designated as the key equipment for testing fuels, our CFR F1/F2 octane rating engines adhere to industry standards, including:
- ASTM D2699: Research Octane Number of Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel
- ASTM D2700: Motor Octane Number of Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel
- IP 236: Determination of Knock Characteristics of Motor and Aviation Fuels – Motor Method
- IP 237: Determination of Knock Characteristics of Motor Fuel – Research Method

Unparalleled Data Integrity with XCP Technology
XCP Digital Control Panel revolutionizes data management by automatically capturing vital information for each rating, presenting it in an Excel-based report, thus reducing the risk of manual errors. The standard XCP report includes KI values, Octane Numbers, environmental data (temperatures, pressures, barometer, and EACS humidity), and KI vs. fuel level curves. Furthermore, the XCP system can seamlessly integrate into a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Automatic data capture and processing provide the accountability needed to defend ratings without a shadow of doubt.
Reliability Beyond Compare
Since 1929, thousands of users have relied on CFR Engines Inc. products, maintaining a legacy of consistent reliability. This trust is upheld through a series of well-designed system upgrades and product enhancements. CFR octane and cetane testing systems, including the robust engine crankcase and cylinder/head, are engineered to deliver unmatched operating life. With basic maintenance and upkeep, CFR octane rating engines consistently withstand the rigors of today’s fuel testing environment, delivering true engine-based Octane Numbers.
Precision Redefined Through Modern Instrument Control
The CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating Unit with XCP Technology employs digital instrumentation to record and process critical aspects of system operation and performance. Features like on-board barometric pressure adjustments, enhanced automation, a broad octane meter range, and precise control of engine intake air elevate precision to new heights. More accurate measurements, coupled with an intuitive interface, translate to superior overall precision.
Cost Savings and Flexibility in One Package
A CFR F1/F2 Octane Rating System offers unrivaled flexibility and cost savings.
