Portuguese term or phrase: índice de cetano
In a text about diesel engines. I wonder if it could be a typo, either for "metano" (methane) or "cetona" (ketones). Maybe someone specialised in the area could help me on this one.

The context reads:

O intervalo indicado para o *índice de cetano* não está em conformidade com os requisitos de um mínimo de 4R. No entanto, no caso de divergência entre o fornecedor e o utilizador do combustível, pode aplicar-se a norma ISO 4259 para resolver tais divergências, desde que se efetue um número suficiente de medições repetidas para obter a precisão necessária em vez de realizar medições únicas.
