A method for preparing low toxicity Fischer-Tropsch fuels suitable for use in
a
diesel engine and Fischer-Tropsch derived fuel compositions having low toxicity
suitable for use in diesel engines characterized by a boiling range distribution
wherein the 5 weight percent point is at a temperature of 570 degrees F. or less
and the 95 weight percent point is at or above a temperature of 680 degrees F.;
a kinematic viscosity at 40 degrees C. of less than 5.5 cSt; and a cloud point
of less than -18 degrees C.
