A stabilizing additive mixture comprising two different ethoxylated fatty alcohols each having a hydrocarbon chain length of about 9 to about 13 carbon atoms present in a molar ratio with respect to the other of about 1:3 to about 3:1, inclusive;
- 0 volume percent (vol. %) to about 10 vol. %, inclusive, based on the volume of the mixture, of a cetane booster;
- and 0 vol. % to less than about 5 vol. % of a demulsifier based on the volume of the mixture.
