Abstract: Zinc dihydrocarbyldithiophosphates are made by the reaction of zinc oxide with dihydrocarbyldithiophosphoric acid in the presence of mineral oil which has been reacted with nitrogen dioxide. The nitrogen dioxide treatment alters the oil such that it promotes the zinc oxide reaction. The process is especially adapted for making zinc dialkaryldithiophosphates useful as lubricating oil additives.

Abstract: A fuel induction system for a spark-ignited multicylinder internal combustion engine including a carburetor, a mixing chamber and an intake manifold. The carburetor includes a primary barrel which connects initially to an inlet in the mixing chamber. An outlet from the mixing chamber connects to the intake manifold. The inlet and outlet are arranged such that the direction of air/fuel mixture flow is reversed in passing through said inlet and outlet thereby providing an improved air/fuel mixture, resulting in lower exhaust hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emission.
Abstract: Amides of C.sub.50-200 alkylphenoxy-substituted aliphatic carboxylic acids made by reacting a C.sub.50-200 alkylphenol with a halocarboxylic ester (e.g., butyl chloroacetate) followed by displacement of the ester group with an amide group have a much higher content of amide than a product made using a halocarboxylic acid reactant in place of the ester. The product is an effective lubricating oil dispersant.

Abstract: Polyesters suitable for use as lubricant additives are prepared by reacting a di-carboxylic acid or anhydride having a branched chain alkyl or alkenyl substituent containing at least 30 carbon atoms with a compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R and R.sup.1 are specified substituents which between them possess from 2 to 6 free hydroxyl groups. Lubricating compositions containing these polyester additives are also described.

Abstract: The useful life of a catalyst being used in an engine exhaust system to lower the undesirable constituents in the exhaust gas of an engine being operated on gasoline containing a cyclopentadienyl manganese antiknock is greatly prolonged by providing an exhaust system having a plurality of baffles in the exhaust flow path upstream from the catalyst forming a tortuous flow path.
Abstract: High molecular weight N-hydrocarbyl-substituted quaternary ammonium salts in which the hydrocarbyl group has a molecular weight of from about 350-3000 such as a polybutene ammonium chloride are effective detergents and dispersants for gasoline and lubricating oils.
Abstract: A dispersant-antiwear lubricating oil additive is made by reacting a high molecular weight hydrocarbon-substituted phenol with aldehyde and ammonia or amines having a reactive hydrogen atom to form a Mannich condensation product which is reacted with an alkylene oxide and P.sub.2 S.sub.5 to form the additive.

Abstract: An improved internal combustion engine, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is described which features the use of a liquid-cooled heat-exchange device to cool the recirculated exhaust before it is fed into the intake system of said engine. A preferred system uses a condensate trap situated downstream of said heat-exchange device. Use of this system effects further reduction in nitrogen oxides (NO.sub.x) content of the exhaust.
Abstract: Bis-substituted phenols bridged through a carbon atom of an aliphatic carboxylic amide or ester are effective ashless dispersants for lubricating oil. Preferably, the phenols are substituted with a high molecular weight poly-alpha-olefin group.

Abstract: Alkylphenoxy alkanoic esters are made in high yield by reaction of a C.sub.50-200 alkylphenol with a halo-substituted alkanoic ester in the presence of a base. The reaction product contains little unreacted alkylphenol and is converted without separation to a reaction mixture containing mainly alkylphenoxy alkanoic amide by reaction with amines. The amide reaction mixture is an effective ashless dispersant for lubricating oil.

Abstract: Dialkylphosphites are made by adding PCl.sub.3 to a mixture of water and alkanol and distilling product from the resultant reaction mixture leaving a distillation residue. Alkanol is added to the residue and the mixture reacted at elevated temperature to yield additional dialkylphosphite.
Abstract: A post hole digger comprising arm members having a spade end and a handle end with a scissor-type connection proximate their spade end and a bend proximate their handle end such that the central portion of the arms are on opposite sides from their spade ends while the handle ends are on the same side as their spade ends, thus enabling the digging of deeper holes without having the arm members bind at the hole opening.
Abstract: A corrosion inhibitor, particularly suitable for use in pipelines used for the transportation of hydrocarbon fluids such as crude petroleum or refined petroleum fractions, comprises a mixture of (a) from 1.8 to 25 parts by weight dimerised unsaturated fatty acid and (b) 1 part by weight of an alkoxylated alkyl phenol and provides a WSIM number (as defined) of at least 60.
Abstract: Dispersancy, wear and corrosion properties of lubricating oil are improved by addition of a product made by mixing at about 50.degree.-300.degree. C about 1-20 parts of sulfur with about 100 parts of the condensation product made by reacting a high molecular weight alkylphenol, formaldehyde and a reactive amine. Excess sulfur is preferably removed.
Abstract: New compounds are derived from intra-molecular and inter-molecular, in the case of a polymer, sulphur bridged hydrocarbon rings containing from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon ring is preferably 1,5-cyclooctadiene. The compounds also contain the residue of an alkyl, alkenyl or aralkyl xanthate and may also contain the residue of a further nucleophilic group. The new compounds are useful in lubricating oil compositions. The compositions may also contain other conventional lubricant additives.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine having a carburetor-type fuel induction system in which the primary carburetor barrel delivers an air/fuel mixture into a container. The air/fuel mixture is conducted from the container into the intake manifold. A liquid trap is provided between the primary barrel and the container to collect liquid gasoline running down the side wall. This trapped liquid is delivered directly to the intake manifold, resulting in improved cold start performance of the engine. The container is preferably heated by means such as exhaust gas, liquid engine coolant or electrical heaters.
