Abstract
A method is provided for reducing the vapour pressure (RVP) of a gasoline/alcohol mixture which comprises adding a surfactant composition comprising an alkanolamide, an alkoxylated alcohol and an alkoxylated fatty acid to a gasoline/alcohol mixture.
Claims20
A method of reducing the vapour pressure (RVP) of a gasoline/alchohol mixture which comprises adding surfactant composition an alkanolamide, an alkoxylated alcohol and an alkoxylated fatty acid, or an ester thereof, to a gasoline/alcohol mixture wherein the vapour pressure is less than 0.48 atmospheres.
The use of a surfactant composition comprising an alkanolamide, an alkoxylated alcohol and an alkoxylated fatty acid ester in the manufacture of a gasoline/alcohol fuel composition having a vapour pressure (RVP) of less than 0.48 atmospheres.
A method of manufacturing a mixture comprising gasoline, alcohol and a surfactant composition, said surfactant composition comprising an alkanolamide, an ethoxylated alcohol and alkoxylated fatty acid, wherein the method includes the steps of blending the alcohol and surfactant followed by blending with gasoline.
