Abstract: A diesel fuel composition having a mixture of a major portion of a hydrocarbon-based compression ignition fuel; and a minor portion of an additive having a polyalkylene succinimide dispersant, the dispersant being the reaction product of at least one amine and at least one polyalkylene succinic anhydride of formula I, wherein R1 is a polyalkenyl radical having a number average molecular weight ranging from about 600 to about 850.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions for use in minimizing injector fouling, such as in fuel injectors, and preventing deposits in valves, such as intake valves, comprising (a) a Mannich detergent and (b) a succinimide that comprises a reaction product of (i) an alkenyl-substituted succinic anhydride having an average molecular weight of about 250 to about 3000 and (ii) an amine-containing polyalkylene polymer having an average molecular weight of about 100 to about 750, wherein the alkenyl-substituted succinic anhydride and the amine-containing polyalkylene polymer are present in the reaction at a molar ratio of about 2.0:1.0 to about 1.0:1.3.

Abstract: Treated port fuel injectors are disclosed. The treated port fuel injectors have a surface coated with a film which resists or limits deposit formation on the injector surface. The film may be formed by contacting the port fuel injector with: (i) a succinimide compound comprising the reaction product of polyisobutylene-substituted succinic anhydride and a polyamine; (ii) a Mannich base detergent; and (iii) a spark ignition fuel. The treated port fuel injectors may also include a film formed by contacting the port fuel injector with: (i) a Mannich condensation reaction product of a polyamine having a sterically-hindered primary amino group, a hydrocarbyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound, and an aldehyde; and (ii) a spark ignition fuel. Methods of forming films on port fuel injector surfaces are also disclosed.

Abstract: New, highly effective Mannich detergents for use in hydrocarbon fuels are described which reduce engine deposits in spark and compression ignition internal combustion engines. They are Mannich condensation reaction products obtained from reacting: (i) a polyamine having a sterically-hindered primary amino group, (ii) a hydrocarbyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound, and (iii) an aldehyde. These Mannich detergent compounds may be dispersed in a liquid carrier to provide a fuel additive concentrate for hydrocarbon engine fuels which effectively control engine deposit formation in intake valves and also other engine regions such as port fuel injectors and combustion chambers.

Abstract: There is disclosed a Mannich reaction product and a reaction to create a Mannich reaction product prepared from an amino alcohol, a high molecular, weight hydroxy aromatic compound, and an aldehyde. Compositions comprising a hydrocarbon fuel and the reaction product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Injector deposits in a direct injection gasoline engine are reduced by providing as fuel for the operation of said direct injection engine a fuel composition comprising a fuel-soluble compound having the formula (I): wherein R1 and R2 are independently C1-4 alkyl, R3 is a radical of the formula CmH2m wherein m is an integer of 2 to 6, R4 and R5 are each independently (i) hydrogen (ii) C1-4alkyl, wherein R6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1-4 alkyls and R7 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1-30 alkyl, (iv) wherein R8 is a saturated or unsaturated, linear, branched or cyclic, C7-23 hydrocarbyl group or (v) wherein R4 and R5 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, form a cyclic ring in which further hetero atoms.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to fuel additives useful for reducing and/or preventing the formation of intake valve deposits. The fuel additives include cyclic Mannich products prepared by the reaction of (A) a substituted hydroxyaromatic compound, (B) a formaldehyde source, and (C) a primary amine.

Abstract: This application relates to fuel additive compositions and fuel compositions comprising an amine prepared from nitriles and phenolic compounds. Suitable nitrites include optionally substituted acrylonitrile, and suitable phenolic compounds include polyisobutylphenols and polyisobutyl cresols. The application also relates to methods for reducing intake valve deposits in engines.

Abstract: An improved process for preparing a Mannich product employs an intermediate or pre-formed triazine. The product is useful as a detergent in fuel compositions. The fuel compositions containing the Mannich product are useful for controlling intake valve deposits in engines.
