  • Publication number: 20110296743
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel composition comprising at least one biodiesel fuel and comprising 0.05 to 5% by weight of at least one polymer comprising ester groups, which comprises repeat units derived from ester monomers having 16 to 40 carbon atoms in the alcohol radical, and repeat units derived from ester monomers having 7 to 15 carbon atoms in the alcohol radical, and the polymer comprising ester groups has a weight-average molecular weight in the range from 5000 to 100 000 g/mol. The present invention further describes the use of polymers comprising ester groups as flow improvers in fuel compositions which comprise at least one biodiesel fuel. Surprising advantages can be achieved especially with regard to the improvement of the cloud point and the low-temperature storability.
