  • Patent number: 4852993
    Abstract: ORI-inhibited and deposit-resistant motor fuel composition comprises a mixture of hydrocarbons boiling in the range of 90.degree. F.-450.degree. F. and (I) the reaction product of a dibasic acid anhydride, a polyoxyalkylene diamine, and a hydrocarbyl polyamine; and (II) a mixture comprising polyisobutylene ethylene diamine and polyisobutylene in a hydrocarbon solvent. Motor fuel compositions of the instant invention show improved ORI control and valve deposit control in comparison with typical commercial fuel compositions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 12, 1987
    Date of Patent: August 1, 1989
    Assignee: Texaco Inc.

  • Patent number: 4810261
    Abstract: A novel gasoline-soluble reaction product, a concentrate comprising the reaction product dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent, and a haze-free, deposit-resistant and ORI-inhibited motor fuel composition comprising the reaction product is described. The reaction product is obtained by reacting a dibasic acid anhydride, a novel diamine containing block copolymers with polyoxyalkylene backbones, and a hydrocarbyl polyamine. Motor fuel compositions containing the reaction product additive of the instant invention are haze-free and show improved deposit-resistance and ORI control in comparison with motor fuels without the reaction product. Motor fuel compositions of the instant invention may optionally comprise a polyolefin polymer/copolymer component having a molecular weight range of about 500-3500.

  • Patent number: 4747851
    Abstract: A novel gasoline-soluble polyoxyalkylene diamine compound, a concentrate comprising the compound dissolved in a hydrocarbon solvent, and a haze-free, deposit-resistant and ORI-inhibited motor fuel composition comprising the compound is described. Motor fuel compositions comprising the novel polyoxyalkylene diamine compound of the instant invention are haze-free and show improved ORI control and carbonaceous deposit inhibition in comparison with conventional motor fuels. Motor fuel compositions of the instant invention may optionally comprise a polyolefin polymer/copolymer component having a molecular weight range of about 500-3500.

  • Patent number: 4659336
    Abstract: A motor fuel composition comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons in the gasoline boiling range containing in combination a reaction product component and a polyolefin polymer/copolymer component is described. The reaction product component is the reaction product of maleic anhydride, a polyether polyamine, and a hydrocarbyl polyamine. The polyolefin polymer/copolymer component is the polymer, copolymer, or corresponding hydrogenated polymer or copolymer of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 unsaturated hydrocarbon, said polymer or copolymer having a molecular weight in the range of 500-3500, preferably 650-2600.
