Abstract
There are disclosed middle distillate fuel oil compositions containing an additive being a copolymer of Mn 200-50,000 having a polymethylene backbone which may be O or N substituted and having nitrate, peroxide, nitrite or nitrosocarbonate side chains.
Claims3
A composition comprising a middle distillate fuel oil and from 0.001 to 5 wt. % (based on the oil) of an additive comprising a non metal-containing oil-soluble copolymer of number average molecular weight of from 200 to 50,000 having a polymethylene backbone or a polymethylene backbone interrupted by an O or an N atom or by a group containing an O or an N atom, the backbone being divided into segments by a plurality of side chains containing the same or different functional group selected from nitrate, peroxide, nitrite, hydroxyl, nitrosocarbonate and groups of the formula R--CO--O where R is hydrocarbyl of 1 to 28 carbon atoms.
