Abstract: Fuels and lubricants contain, as detergents, N-alkylcarboxamides prepared from olefins by the Ritter reaction.

Abstract: Fuels for internal combustion engines or lubricants contain small amounts of compounds of the formulae Ia and/or Ib ##STR1## where R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having a number average molecular weight of from 250 to 5,000 and X is ##STR2## where the radicals R.sup.1 may be identical or different and are each hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -hydroxyalkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 -aminoalkyl, or where the two radicals R.sup.1 may form a nonaromatic ring.

Abstract: Carbamates having a long-chain N-alkyl radical, a process for the preparation of the carbamates in a conventional manner and fuels and lubricants which contain these carbamates as additives.

Abstract: Fuels for gasoline engines contain a combination of a nitrogen-containing detergent component and an alkoxylate as a carrier oil component, the alkoxylate being a dialkylphenol-initiated propoxylate.

Abstract: An Otto-cycle engine fuel containing a small amount of an amide, amide/ammonium salt and/or ammonium salt of an aminoalkylene polycarboxylic acid and a long-chain secondary amine as additive for cleaning the carburetor and valves.

Abstract: Novel alkoxylated polyetherdiamines are useful as gasoline additives, for keeping carburetors and valves clean, and as lubricant additives.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel for gasoline engines and diesel engines, containing small amounts of an ester of a mono- and/or poly-carboxylic acid with an alkyl alkanolamine or alkyl aminopolyalkylene glycol of the general formula I ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is a C.sub.6 -C.sub.30 -alkyl radical,R.sub.2 is a C.sub.6 -C.sub.30 -alkyl radical or a hydroxyalkyl radical of the general formula II ##STR2## and R.sub.3 is a hydroxylalkyl radical of formula II, in which R.sub.4 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl radical and m is an integer from 0 to 100.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a base oil and middle distillate which is stable to oxidation and low temperature from a mineral oil fraction having a boiling range above 350.degree. C., by, in a first step, converting the mineral oil fraction on a hydrocracking catalyst under hydrocracking conditions to an extent of from 20 to 80% by weight into fractions which boil below 360.degree. C., separating the reactor effluent, if necessary, into liquid and gas phases in a high-pressure separator, treating the entire reactor effluent or only the liquid phase, directly or after removal of the fractions boiling below 360.degree. C. by distillation, in a second step with hydrogen at from 200.degree. to 450.degree. C.

Abstract: Motor fuel compositions contain alkoxylation products of oxo oils or their fractions or esters thereof, which are alkoxylated with propene oxide and/or butene oxides and/or not more than minor aomunts of ethene oxide.
