Abstract
An additive for liquefied hydrocarbon fuel contains a) 30-60 volume percent of at least one nitrogen-containing solvent, b) 30-60 volume percent of at least one nitrogen-containing dispersing agent, c) 0.5-10 volume percent of a nitrogen-containing corrosion inhibiting agent and d) 0.5-10 volume percent of at least one oxidation inhibitor, wherein the sum of ingredients a, b, c and d is 100 volume percent. This additive protects against corrosion, aging, separation of materials on motor parts and purification of the exhaust gas in motors using liquefied hydrocarbon fuels.
Claims12
A method of imparting corrosion-resistent properties to a liquefied gaseous hydrocarbon fuel comprising adding to the fuel at 50 to 400 ppm, an additive comprising:
- a) 30-60 volume percent of at least one nitrogen-containing solvent selected from the group consisting of formamide derivatives, thioformamide derivatives, N-alkyl-pyrrolidone derivatives with one or two carbon atoms in the alkyl residue, acetamide derivatives, secondary N-alkanolamines, tertiary N-alkanolamines each of 1-4 carbon atoms in the alkyl residue and nitro paraffins of 1-8 carbon atoms,
- b) 30-60 volume percent of at least one nitrogen-containing dispersing agent selected from the group consisting of morpholine, morpholine derivatives, thiomorpholine, thiomorpholine derivatives and cyclohexylamine,
- c) 0.5-10 volume percent of a nitrogen-containing corrosion inhibiting agent selected from the class consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary C.sub.6-14 -alkylamines and C.sub.3-6 -alkylenediamines and
- d) 0.5-10 volume percent of at least one oxidation inhibitor, wherein the sum of ingredients a, b, c and d is 100 volume percent.
The method of claim 1, wherein the additive comprises in addition to 100 volume percent of the total of ingredients of a), b), c), and d) defined in claim 1, 50 to 200 volume percent of a C.sub.1-4 -alkanol as a solvent.
