Claims17
A diesel fuel formulation comprising (i) a diesel fuel component comprising one or more fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) components wherein the FAME component or the mixture of FAME components has ≦50% w/w saturates, (ii) a dialkyl carbonate (DAC) and (iii) an additional diesel fuel component, wherein the concentration of (i) and (ii) is in a range from 4 to 50% v/v.
A diesel fuel supplement for use in a diesel fuel formulation, the supplement comprising (i) at least one FAME component having ≦50% w/w saturates, and (ii) a DAC, wherein the concentration of (i) and (ii) is in a range from 4 to 50% v/v.
A process for the preparation of a diesel fuel formulation comprising blending together (i) a diesel fuel component comprising one or more FAME components wherein the FAME component or mixture of FAME components has ≦50% w/w saturates, (ii) a DAC and (iii) one or more additional diesel fuel components, wherein the concentration of (i) and (ii) is in a range from 4 to 50% v/v.
