Abstract
A fuel additive composition comprises (a) a Mannich reaction product and (b) a polyetheramine where the weight ratio on an actives basis of component (a) to component (b) is 1:4-10. A fuel composition and a method for removing intake valve deposits and combustion chamber deposits in a spark-ignited internal combustion engine comprise the fuel additive composition which is very effective in removing the deposits.
Claims15
A fuel additive composition, comprising:
- (a) a Mannich reaction product of a hydrocarbyl-substituted phenol wherein the hydrocarbyl substituent has a number average molecular weight of from 500 to 3000, an aldehyde, and an amine;
- and
- (b) a polyetheramine represented by the formula R[OCH2CH(R1)]nA wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group;
- R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydrocarbyl groups of 1 to 16 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof;
- n is a number from 2 to about 50;
- A is selected from the group consisting of OCH2CH2CH2NR2R2 and —NR3R3 wherein each R2 is independently hydrogen or hydrocarbyl;
- each R3 is independently hydrogen, hydrocarbyl or —[R4N(R5)]pR6 wherein R4 is C2-C10 alkylene;
- R5 and R6 are independently hydrogen or hydrocarbyl;
- p is a number from 1-7;
- and the weight ratio on an actives basis of component (a) to component (b) is 1:4-10.
