Abstract:
The low temperature flowability of a middle distillate petroleum fuel boiling within the range of about 250* and about 700*F. at atmospheric pressure is improved by adding to the fuel a combination of a microcrystalline petroleum wax and a wax modifying additive which comprises either a polymer containing halogenated polymethylene segments or an N-aliphatic hydrocarbyl succinamic acid or a derivative thereof. The invention is particularly advantageous in improving the flow of a diesel fuel through a fine filter at low temperatures.

Abstract:
The invention disclosed herein is a liquid fuel composition having reduced soot and smoking characterized comprising a major proportion of a liquid hydrocarbon fuel and a minor proportion of Group IIA and Group IIB metal salts of carboxylic acids. A preferred fuel composition is from 0.1 to 0.6 percent by weight of barium- and zinc 2-ethylhexanoates admixed in diesel fuel, wherein the weight ratio of barium to zinc is about 10 to 1. Further improvement in smoke and soot reduction is obtained in hydrocarbon fuels when an ether is additionally incorporated into the salt and fuel mixture. A mixture of from about 0.1 to 0.6 percent by weight of barium 2-ethylhexanoate and zinc 2ethylhexanoate, from between 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight of the monomethyl ether of ethylene glycol and the balance, a diesel fuel, has substantially reduced smoke and soot forming characteristics.
Abstract:
A SMOKE AND SOOT SUPPRESSANT ADDITIVE FOR LIQUID FUEL COMPRISES AN ETHER AND A GROUP II-A METAL CARBONATE. AN ESPECIALLY SUITABLE ADDITIVE IS BARIUM CARBONATE AND AN ALKYL ETHER OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL, SUCH AS THE DIMETHYL ETHER OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL. GENERALLY THE CARBONATE IS EMPLOYED IN AMOUNTS FROM ABOUT 0.1 TO 1% BY WEIGHT AND THE ETHER IS EMPLOYED IN AMOUNTS FROM 0.1 TO 1% BY WEIGHT.
