The invention discloses a diesel additive, and belongs to the field of 
chemical engineering. Aiming at problems of the conventional diesel additives, the invention provides a multifunctional diesel additive. The diesel additive consists of the following components: a 
cetane number improver, a stabilizer, a 
disperser, a 
cleaning agent, an antismoke agent and a 
diluent. The diesel additive can improve the 
cetane number of diesel to a great extent. Dialkoxy 
alkane can be decomposed when meeting light, heat and 
metal ions, so N,N-dimethyl(tetradecyl)amine is selected as the stabilizer to prevent the dialkoxy 
alkane from being decomposed, and the stability of the dialkoxy 
alkane in the diesel is kept. The 
cleaning agent is N,N-bis(salicylidene)-propanediamine, and can clean 
carbon deposition on a 
fuel injection pump, a 
fuel spray nozzle and a 
piston ring of a 
diesel engine to keep a smooth oil line, so that the 
combustion performance and economic performance of the 
diesel engine are improved. The antismoke agent has a good 
combustion-supporting antismoke effect, so that a fuel is fully combusted, the 
tail gas emission of the 
diesel engine is greatly reduced, and requirements of 
environmental protection and 
energy conservation are met.
