Abstract
An additive for hydrocarbon motor fuels for internal combustion engines which consists of ditertiarybutyl peroxide contained in a solvent medium. The solvent medium is preferably ditertiarybutyl alcohol along with a lower melting solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol, benzene, or mixtures thereof. The organic peroxide is normally present in the fuel in an amount ranging from between about 0.1 ppm. to about 1 ppm., with best results being obtained within that range.
Claims3
Hydrocarbon motor fuel for internal combustion engines and containing an additive therein consisting of an admixture of ditertiarybutyl peroxide and ditertiarybutyl alcohol on a basis of between about 1 part peroxide to about 20 parts ditertiarybutyl alcohol up to about 1 part ditertiarybutyl peroxide to about 1 part of ditertiarybutyl alcohol, with the ditertiarybutyl peroxide - ditertiarybutyl alcohol admixture being present in said fuel in an amount ranging from between about 0.1 ppm. to about 1 ppm. of the ditertiarybutyl peroxide component.
