Fuel additives and formulations for improving performance of gasoline direct injection engines
Fuel additive compositions having at least one acylated detergent, at least one Mannich detergent, and at least one polyether and/or polyetheramine. The acylated detergent may be the reaction product of a hydrocarbyl-substituted acylating agent and a nitrogen containing compound having at least one amino group, that may optionally be quaternizable, and at least one oxygen or nitrogen atom capable of reacting with the hydrocarbyl-substituted acylating agent. The compositions are useful for reducing the formation of carbonaceous deposits and/or cleaning carbonaceous deposits in an engine, such as a gasoline direct injection engine.
Fuel composition with lubricity modifier
The disclosure relates to fuel compositions comprising a base fuel, a lubricity modifier, and optional additives, and methods for using same. The base fuel is a middle distillate having a sulfur content of <500 ppm. The lubricity modifier comprises a plant-derived liquid decarboxylated rosin acid and optionally at least one of a fatty acid, a fatty acid derivative, and mixtures thereof. The decarboxylated rosin acid has a flash point of 95-180 C., a density of 0.9 to 1.0 g/cm3 at 20 C., a viscosity of 15 to 60 cSt at 40 C., and an acid value of <50 mg KOH/g. The fuel compositions have desired tribological properties, such as wear scar diameter, coefficient of friction, and percent film, as well as cloud point performance.
Additives for improving the resistance to wear and to lacquering of diesel or biodiesel fuels
The present disclosure relates to novel anti-wear additives for diesel or biodiesel fuels having a sulphur content less than or equal to 500 ppm by mass. These novel additives will also improve the lacquering resistance of the higher-grade diesel or biodiesel fuels having a sulphur content less than or equal to 500 ppm by mass.
