  • Publication number: 20240026239
    Abstract: A fuel composition is described. The composition contains gasoline and an aryloxy alkylamine additive. The structure of the aryloxy alkylamine additive is given by where the aryloxy alkylamine additive is present in about 10 to about 750 ppm by weight based on total weight of the fuel composition. X is a hydrocarbyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms. R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen or substituted hydrocarbyl group having up to 36 carbon atoms.

  • Patent number: 6203584
    Abstract: A fuel composition comprising a major amount of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline range and a fuel consumption reducing amount of a fuel additive composition comprising: (a) at least one amine compound selected from the group consisting of: (1) a fuel-soluble aliphatic hydrocarbyl-substituted amine having at least one basic nitrogen atom where the hydrocarbyl group has a number average molecular weight of about 700 to 3,000, and (2) a poly(oxyalkylene)amine having at least one basic nitrogen atom and a sufficient number of oxyalkylene units to render the poly(oxyalkylene)amine soluble in hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline range; and (b) an ester of a carboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol, wherein the carboxylic acid has from one to about four carboxylic acid groups and from about 8 to about 50 carbon atoms and the polyhydric alcohol has from about 2 to about 50 carbon atoms and from about 2 to about 6 hydroxy groups.
