Abstract:
A diesel fuel additive composition comprising a mixture of a dispersant and a carrier, preferably a liquid carrier fluid. The dispersant comprises at least one member of the group consisting of polyalkylene succinimides and polyalkylene amines, the polyalkylene succinimides being the reaction product of polyalkylene succinic anhydride and a polyamine, the polyalkylene amine being the reaction product of a polyalkylene moiety and amine selected from the group consisting of monoamine and polyamine. The carrier comprises at least one oxygenate selected from the group consisting of polyalkoxylated ether, polyalkoxylated phenol, polyalkoxylated ester and polyalkoxylated amine. The additive composition reduces injector deposits in internal combustion-compression ignition engines. Diesel fuels containing a major portion of a hydrocarbon-based compression ignition fuel and a minor portion of the diesel fuel additive composition, as well as methods of making and using these diesel fuels are also included in the present invention.
Abstract:
Platinum group metal fuel additives are effective in fuel environments which make the exclusion of water impractical. The fuels additives comprise a platinum group metal compound and a water-functional composition selected from the group consisting of lipophilic emulsifiers, lipophilic organic compounds in which water is miscible and mixtures of these. The additives are preferably effective in fuel compositions having water contents of at least about 0.01% water by weight.
Abstract:
A fuel composition comprising a major amount of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline or diesel range and an effective detergent amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group having an average molecular weight of about 400 to 5,000; andR.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxy, --CO.sub.2 H, --NO.sub.2, and --NR.sub.3 R.sub.4, wherein R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms; provided that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 cannot both be hydrogen.
Abstract:
The combination of a fuel-soluble succinimide detergent/dispersant, a fuel-soluble liquid carrier or induction aid therefor, and a fuel-soluble cyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl compound can sharply reduce the formation or accumulation of engine deposits such as intake valve deposits in internal combustion engines. In fact, such compositions can function synergistically whereby the effectiveness of a highly effective succinimide-based deposit control additive can be improved by the addition thereto of the manganese compound, the latter not known to be a substance that reduces deposits.
Abstract:
A fuel mixture containing an ionic complex of an amine salt of a phosphoric acid is effective in reducing the smoke emitted during operation of a two-cycle internal combustion engine. A preferred phosphoric acid derivative is dioctyldithiophosphate. A preferred primary amine component is dihydrogenated tallow amine.
Abstract:
A gasoline composition comprising (a) gasoline, (b) a deposit inhibitor or a detergent containing a basic nitrogen atom, (c) a carrier oil, and (d) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of an ester of a fatty acid and an alkylene oxide addition compound to bisphenol, a compound obtained by the ester exchange reaction of an alcohol and a triglyceride-type fat or oil, an aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid, a metal salt of an aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid, an ester of an aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid and an alcohol, and an ester of boric acid. The composition has superior heat resistance and is excellent in removing deposits in the fuel intake systems and in keeping the systems clean.
Abstract:
Embodiments are described of an additive composition of matter, for inclusion in fuels and in lubricants, which comprises an overbased sulfonate, jojoba oil, and castor oil. Adding the additive to transportation fuels, such as diesel fuel or automobile gasoline, greatly improves combustion engine performance and mileage. Adding the additive to motor-oil or other lube oils greatly improves the lubrication performance of the oil. There is a synergy between the overbased sulfonate, jojoba oil, and castor oil that provides remarkable performance improvements especially under high pressure and high temperature conditions, and also provides residual protection for an engine or other machinery that improves re-start and subsequent operation. The additive also provides excellent lubrication for non-ferrous metals, and is less toxic than those additives containing chlorinated compounds.
Abstract:
Intake valve deposits in port fuel injected engines are reduced by using a fuel containing a mixture of (a) an oil soluble polyamine selected from (i) an aliphatic alkylene polyamine containing at least one olefinic polymer chain attached to a nitrogen and/or carbon atom of the alkylene radical(s) connecting the amino nitrogen atoms and said polyamine having a number average molecular weight in the range of from about 600 to about 10,000, (ii) a Mannich polyamine comprising the condensation product of a high molecular weight sulfur-free alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound wherein the alkyl group has a number average molecular weight from about 600 to about 10,000, an amine which contains an amino group having at least one active hydrogen atom, and an aldehyde, wherein the respective molar ratio of reactants is 1:0.1-10:0.1-10, or (iii) mixtures of (i) and (ii) and (b) an oil soluble hydrocarbyl poly(oxyalkylene)aminocarbamate having a number average molecular weight in the range of from about 600 to about 10,000 having at least one basic nitrogen atom wherein the hydrocarbyl group contains from 1 to about 30 carbons atoms, and wherein the mixture is present in an amount of 5-1000 ppmw basis the fuel and the weight ratio of component (a) to component (b) ranges from about 3:1 to about 1:2. The fuels are also compatible with carburetor and throttle body injected engines.
