Abstract: An additive for fuel oil comprises a compound comprising (a) an alkyl group having 9 to 37 carbon atoms and containing a branched alkyl having 3 to 18 carbon atoms and (b) an amine group having at least one polyoxyalkylene having 2 to 4 carbon atoms or an amineoxide having at least one polyoxyalkylene having 2 to 4 carbon atoms. This additive is effective for cleaning the injection nozzle of coking.

Abstract: Ester derivatives useful as fuels and lubricating oil additives are prepared by the Michael addition of an alkyl acrylate to an amine to produce an intermediate ester, followed by an ester interchange with the intermediate ester to produce the final ester derivatives, some of which are novel compounds.

Abstract: The present invention is an unleaded fuel composition containing a major amount of a hydrocarbon base fuel of the gasoline boiling range containing an amount effective to reduce NO.sub.x emissions from electronic port fuel injected engines of ammonia or an ammonium compound. The invention also includes a method of reducing NO.sub.x emissions from electronic port fuel injected engines by feeding to the engine exhaust gases at a point between the outlet valves and catalytic converter an amount effective to reduce NO.sub.x emissions from the engines of ammonia or an ammonium compound.

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: Reaction products which provide antioxidant properties to lubricants and fuels while serving as effective dispersants and detergents in these mediums. These products, of the reaction of a hydroxyalkylene substituted polyamines and substituted succinic anhydrides, contain mixtures of esters, amides and imides. Furthermore, preferred embodiments of the reaction products have pendent alcohol groups which provide extra dispersancy and detergency over traditional dispersants which typically do not have alcohol groups.

Abstract: Certain aminofulvene derivatives are effective in improving the antiknock performance of gasoline when used in an internal combustion engine. Particularly preferred aminofulvene derivatives are 2-methoxycarbonyl-6-(dimethylamino)fulvene; 2,3-dimethoxycarbonyl-6-(dimethylamino)fulvene; or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: Products of reaction between 1-alkyl-N,N-dialkyl ethanolamines and copolymers of maleic anhydride are new additives which are effective in lowering the cloud point of distillate fuels.

Abstract: Additives which improve the low-temperature properties of distillate fuels are the reaction products of (1) diaminodiols, and (2) the product of pyromellitic dianhydride and aminoalcohols and/or amines with long-chain hydrocarbyl groups attached.

Abstract: Additives comprising the reaction products of aminodiols and the products of benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride and aminoalcohols and/or amines with long-chain hydrocarbyl groups attached improve the low-temperature properties of distillate fuels.
