Abstract:
This invention relates to metal salts of the general formulaA.sup.y- M.sup.y+ (I)wherein M represents one or more metal ions, y is the total valence of all M and A represents one or more anion containing groups having a total of about y individual anionic moieties and each antion containing group is a group of the formula ##STR1## wherein each group in (II) is as described in the specification. These salts find utility in lubricants and fuels other than 2-cycle engine lubricants and fuels.
Abstract:
A product formed by reacting at least one acyclic hydrocarbyl substituted succinic acylating agent such as polyisobutenyl succinic anhydride with at least one N-(alkoxy-alkyl) alkanediamine such as N-(isodecyloxypropyl)-1,3-diaminopropane is effective as a detergent-dispersant for liquid fuels and oleaginous liquids.
Abstract:
Certain chemical elements or compounds, smog inhibitors, added to combustible hydrocarbon-base fuels, can reduce, or eliminate, ozone, O.sub.3, an oxidant necessary for the formation of smog and its irritants. A test program demonstrated that atmospheric ozone was reduced an average of about 75% when exhaust gases derived from an automotive engine burning fuel containing an inhibitor were injected into a sealed chamber as compared to the same engine burning fuel containing no additive. In each of the tests using the fuel additive, ozone concentrations approached, or reached, zero for short periods of time, indicating the viability of this method of ozone, and therefore smog, control. This patent is for the purpose of controlling smog formation by the addition of smog inhibitors, such as, but not limited to, iodine or its compounds to hydrocarbon-base fuels prior to, or during, the combustion cycle of these fuels.
Abstract:
A fuel composition for internal combustion engines, and more particularly, a fuel composition for internal combustion engines containing less than about 0.5 gram of lead per liter of fuel is described. The fuel composition comprises a major amount of a liquid hydrocarbon fuel and a minor, property improving amount of(A) at least one hydrocarbon-soluble alkali or alkaline earth metal-containing composition, and(B) at least one hydrocarbon-soluble ashless dispersant.When a mixture of the metal-containing composition (A) and the ashless dispersant (B) are incorporated into gasolines containing less than about 0.5 gram of lead per liter of fuel, the treated fuel exhibits improved stability and water tolerance, and when the unleaded or low lead-containing fuels of the present invention are utilized in internal combustion engines, there is a significant reduction in valve seat recession. Methods of reducing valve seat recession in internal combustion engines utilizing lead free or low lead-containing fuels also are described.
Abstract:
Described herein is an additive to hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel fuel and the like used, for example, in vehicles and furnaces. The fuel comprises a mixutre of a low molecular weight alcohol, an aliphatic ester, an aromatic hydrocarbon, a halogenated alkene, a hydroxy unsaturated vegetable oil and an aliphatic hydrocarbon. Use of the additive improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner burning, i.e., reduces engine deposits.
Abstract:
Low boiling aryl fluoroalkane additives, such as benzotrifluoride, are utilized as a fuel additive for internal combustion engines. The additive volatilizes in the combustion chamber thereby giving a smoother running engine, prolonged spark plug life and a reduced octance requirement for high compression engines.
