Abstract:
Compositions including an iron containing fuel additive and a solid carrier are disclosed. Methods of preparing tablet forms of the compositions are also disclosed. The iron containing fuel additive may be ferrocene and/or substituted ferrocene derivatives. The compositions are useful for handling and rapidly solvating the iron containing fuel additive in a fuel such as gasoline.
Abstract:
Compositions containing unsaturated fatty esters may be stabilized against atmospheric oxidation by the addition of an antioxidant package containing a phenolic oxidant and a nonphenolic oxygen scavenger, which may be a hydroxylamine, an amine N-oxide, an oxime, or a nitrone. If an amine N-oxide is used, it may be used with or without a phenolic antioxidant. Compositions treated in this manner show good resistance to atmospheric oxidation and resultant viscosity increase.

Abstract:
Alkylated 5,6,7,8-tetrahydronapthalenols are effective antioxidants for fuel oils. Di- and tri-alkylated tetrahydronaphthalenols are especially effective, with the di- and tri-isopropylated materials being preferred, at a concentration as low as about 5 ppm.
Abstract:
A composition for improving the combustion efficiency of an internal combustion engine. The composition includes a mixture of a hydrocarbon fuel and an organometallic soap selected from among several cerium-containing and ferric compounds. The cerium-containing compound or compounds increase the energy released during combustion of the fuel. The ferric compound or compounds coat an interior wall of a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to increase the power output of the engine by reducing the accumulation of residues deposited on the interior wall which interfere with the combustion of fuel.
Abstract:
This invention is a fuel composition having a sulphur content of ≦50 ppm by weight and comprising ≧50 ppm by weight of at least one fused polycyclic aromatic compound which has at least one hetero-atom selected from O and N either (a) as a heterocyclic group, or, (b) as an exocyclic group in which the hetero-atom is attached either directly or through one other carbon atom to a ring carbon atom wherein the fused polycyclic aromatic compound is substituted on at least one of its ring carbon atoms by a C1-C4 alkyl group. These compounds are capable of improving the antiwear and lubricity properties of a low sulphur fuels, especially diesel fuels, when compared with the performance of the same fuel in the absence of such compounds.
