Abstract
A fuel stabilizer formulation includes a hybrid component that acts as an antioxidant, a chelating agent, and lubricant when added to the fuel, one or more vapor suppressants, and a water scavenger. Furthermore, the formulation may include components that bond with gasoline compounds to prevent evaporation of low-end components, form a layer along with the engine metal that prevents condensed water from corroding the metal, prevent corroded metal ions from destabilizing gasoline compounds into resin, and scavenge water to prevent water deposits at the bottom of the tank which limits biological activity, resulting in an overall improvement in oxidation stability over conventional fuel stabilizers.
Claims7
A fuel stabilizer formulation consisting of:
- 25 to 40% by weight of a hybrid component having antioxidant, chelating, and lubricant properties;
- 20 to 30% by weight of a first vapor pressure suppressant comprising a mixed paraffinic naphthenic solvent;
- 15 to 25% by weight of a second vapor pressure suppressant comprising an isoparaffinic hydrocarbon fluid;
- and
- 20 to 30% by weight of a water scavenger component.
