Provided is a fuel composition for improving fuel efficiency. The fuel composition includes greater than 50 wt % of a hydrocarbon fuel boiling in the gasoline or diesel range, a minor amount a zinc chelator, and a minor amount of a friction modifier. The friction modifier includes at least one polar group.

The subject matter of the present invention is a fuel composition which comprises —at least 85% by weight of one or more fractions of hydrocarbons having a distillation range within the range extending from 100 to 400° C. and having a paraffin content greater than or equal to 90% by weight; —at least a first additive consisting of a particular quaternary ammonium salt; and —at least a second additive consisting of a phenolic antioxidant. The subject matter of the invention is also the use of a composition of additives comprising said first and second additives, for improving at least one property of a paraffin-rich fuel composition.

The present disclosure relates to a method of reducing regeneration frequency of a diesel particulate filter in a vehicle combusting diesel fuel. The method includes combusting a diesel fuel in a vehicle engine having a diesel particulate filter and wherein the diesel particulate filter requires regeneration thereof. The diesel fuel has less than about 50 ppmw of sulfur and one or more select additives to reduce a measured frequency of regeneration of the diesel particulate filter.

The present invention relates to the use of a fuel composition comprising at least 85% by weight of one or more hydrocarbon fractions consisting of one or more hydrotreated vegetable oils, said fraction(s) having a distillation range between 100 and 400° C. and having a paraffin content greater than or equal to 90% by weight, for reducing the deposits present in the internal parts of a compression ignition engine (or diesel engine). The present invention also relates to a method for cleaning the deposits present in the internal parts of a compression ignition engine using such a composition.

Provided is a composition for removing a sulfur-containing compound contained in at least one of a liquid and gas, the sulfur-containing compound being at least one selected from the group consisting of hydrogen sulfide and an SH group-containing compound, the composition containing an aldehyde and an amine whose conjugate acid has a pKa value of 11.3 or higher in water at 25 C.

High temperature antioxidant additives and methods that improve a liquid fuel composition's thermal oxidative stability are disclosed. A liquid fuel composition may comprise a liquid fuel and a high temperature antioxidant additive. The high temperature antioxidant additive may comprise an aromatic carbocyclic ring that is monocyclic and comprises substituents comprising a hydroxyl group and an iminomethyl group positioned in an ortho relationship.
