Abstract:
Oil-soluble organic compounds of strontium and calcium are used in admixture as smoke-suppression additives for diesel fuels. The mixed-metal additives are found to give a greater degree of smoke suppression than would be expected, based on the effectiveness of either metal alone.
Abstract:
The invention disclosed herein is directed to an improved combustion process whereby the fuel is efficiently utilized and the formation of undesirable exhaust smoke is reduced. The combustion process comprises the burning of a fuel in which there is incorporated a small amount of metal salts having a particle size less than about 800 microns. The invention relates further to improved fuel compositions containing such metal salts.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for improving corrosion inhibition in engines combusting a fuel containing ethanol. In particular, E85 fuels are provided containing additives able to reduce, eliminate and/or prevent corrosion of engine combustion surfaces and surfaces of engine components exposed to the fuel containing ethanol.
Abstract:
A liquid fuel for internal combustion engine, comprising 2 to 85 wt % of an alcohol component of aliphatic monohydric alcohol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms per molecule per se or a mixture thereof and 15 to 98 wt. % of a hydrocarbon component. The liquid fuel for internal combustion engine contains an aluminum corrosion inhibitor in an amount capable of inhibiting the aluminum corrosion at predetermined given temperature. The aluminum corrosion inhibitor comprises at least one member selected from among methanol, glycol hydrocarbons, ketone hydrocarbons, ester hydrocarbons and aldehyde hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
A method reduces combustion chamber deposit flaking and spark ignited internal combustion engines. The method includes supplying a fuel having an additive that includes a metal-containing compound to a spark ignited internal combustion engine. The metal-containing compound is supplied in an amount effective to reduce combustion chamber deposit flaking. In one example, the metal is manganese and the additive compound is MMT. The reduction or elimination of combustion chamber deposit flaking means a reduction in cold start emissions from the engine.
