Abstract
A fuel composition for use in internal-combustion engines has a lower grade fuel component, and a microemulsion. The microemulsion includes at least one of hydrous component, renewable component, and polar component being present in an amount effective for forming the fuel composition. The fuel composition may enhance lubricity, corrosion, and water stability without the use of other additives and inhibitors.
Claims23
A fuel composition for use in internal-combustion engines, the fuel composition comprising:
- a lower grade fuel component;
- a microemulsion comprising at least one of a hydrous component, a renewable component, and a polar component being present in an amount effective for forming the fuel composition;
- and
- wherein the fuel composition enhances lubricity, corrosion, and water stability without the use of other additives and inhibitors.
A method of formulating a fuel composition for use in internal-combustion engines, the method comprising:
- providing a fuel;
- and
- forming the fuel composition by adding to the fuel, a microemulsion comprising at least one of hydrous component, renewable component, and polar component being present in an amount effective for forming the fuel composition;
- and
- wherein the fuel composition enhances lubricity, corrosion, and water stability without the use of other additives and inhibitors.
