Abstract: Detection of fuel additive components in an additive mixture involves (a) optionally subjecting the analyte to high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a solvent mixture as mobile phase; (b) ionizing the components; (c) selectively separating the components in a mass spectrometer to produce a spectrum; and (d) interpreting the spectrum with respect to the additive components. An Independent claim is also included for an apparatus for use in the above detection process including an ion source for the ionization, a mass analyzer (mass spectrometer plus detector), a pump and optionally also a high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) column.
