The method of operating the CI engine includes receiving a volume of intake charge in the combustion chamber, compressing the intake charge, injecting a volume of fuel into the combustion chamber, the fuel having a cetane number less than about 40, and combusting substantially all of the volume of fuel. A delay between injecting the volume of fuel into the combustion chamber and initiation of combustion is less than about 2 ms. The CI engine includes at least a two-stroke engine, an opposed-piston engine, a two-stroke opposed piston engine, a five-stroke engine, a six-stroke engine, a free-piston engine, a free piston engine linear, a rotary engine, and/or a Wankel rotary engine.
