  • Additive formulation and method of using same
    Patent number: 10894928
    Abstract: A fuel additive formulation, method of use, and method of producing the fuel additive formulation are described. The fuel additive of the present disclosure comprises a mixture of nitroparaffins comprising nitropropane and nitromethane, a lubricant, and an aromatic hydrocarbon. The fuel additive formulation is substantially free of nitroethane. The combustion in an internal combustion engine of a fuel containing the additive results in reduced emissions relative to the combustion of a fuel not containing the additive.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 2020
    Date of Patent: January 19, 2021
    Assignee: MAZOIL TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
    Inventors: Peter Wachtel, Arthur R. Foote, III

  • Fuel additive formulation and method of using same
    Patent number: 7491249
    Abstract: An improved fuel additive formulation, method of use, and method of producing the fuel formulation are described. The improved fuel additive of the present invention comprises a mixture of nitroparaffins (comprising nitromethane, nitroethane, and nitropropane), and a combination of modified commercially available ester oil and/or a solubilizing agent, and/or toluene. The ratio of ester oil and/or solubilizing agent and/or toluence to nitroparaffin is preferably less than 20 volume percent, with nitroparaffins comprising the balance of the additive. A method of preparing and using the additive formulation is also provided.
