Abstract
An aqueous fuel composition comprising hydrocarbon petroleum distillate, purified water, and an additive composition, in which the aqueous fuel composition, and particularly the additive composition, is comprised of components which are essentially free of silicon, resulting in a fuel having reduced particulate emissions with a resulting reduction in exhaust system deposits. The disclosure further provides for an aqueous fuel composition adapted for use in an internal combustion engine having selected components of the fuel system coated with a metal nitride coating, such as chromium nitride or titanium nitride.
Claims1
An aqueous fuel composition comprising:
- diesel fuel;
- purified water;
- methanol;
- amino methyl propanol;
- 2-ethylhexyl nitrate;
- and
- a surfactant system including polyethoxylated nonylphenol having about 9 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of nonylphenol comprising between about 0.4% and about 1.0 % by weight, an aminoalkanoic acid comprising between about 0.03% and about 0. 15% by weight, and C21 dicarboxylic acid derived from the Diels-Alder adduct of maleic anhydride and oleic acid comprising between about 0.04% and about 0.1% by weight.
