Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Auto-Ignition temperature of Geranyl Formate: 255 +/- 10 °C.
Executive summary:

The lowest temperature giving a positive effect was 259 °C. The injected volume was 100 μl, the ignition delay was 20 s. At a temperature of 254 °C no ignition was observed.

Therefore, after rounding-off to the next lower multiple of 5 °C:

Auto-Ignition temperature of Geranyl Formate: 255 +/- 10 °C.
