A diesel fuel composition comprising an organic nitrate is described. The organic nitrate may be a terpene nitrate. Methods of using an organic nitrate for achieving a desired cetane number, and uses of organic nitrates for the purpose of reducing the ignition delay of the fuel and/or for increasing its cetane number to a defined level are also described, as are methods of operating a compression ignition engine.
