Abstract: A fuel additive composition includes a polyalkenylsuccinimide, a mono or polyfunctional polyisobutene amine, and a carrier oil selected from the group of mineral oils, polyethers, polyetheramines, esters, and combinations thereof. The polyalkenylsuccinimide includes the reaction product of a hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid producing reaction intermediate and a nucleophilic reactant. The hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid producing reaction intermediate includes the reaction product of a polyolefin comprising C2 to C18 olefin units and having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of about 500 to 5,000 g/mol and a C4 to C10 monounsaturated acid reactant. The hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid producing reaction intermediate includes from 0.5 to 10 dicarboxylic acid producing moieties per molecule of the polyolefin. The nucleophilic reactant is selected from the group of amines, alcohols, amino alcohols, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A fuel additive composition comprising (A) polyisobutyl-based nitrogen-containing dispersants with MN of the polyisobutyl group of from 650 to 1800 Dalton, (B) carrier oils substantially free of nitrogen and (C) polyisobutyl-based dispersant boosters with MN of the polyisobutyl group of from 200 to 650 Dalton, with the proviso that the difference between the MN of the polyisobutyl group of component (A) and the MN of the polyisobutyl group of component (C) is more than 100 Dalton. Said component (C) is especially useful as an intake valve clean-up booster in gasoline-operated port fuel injection internal combustion engines.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for reducing combustion chamber deposits (CCD) and/or intake valve deposits (IVD) in spark ignition internal combustion engines. A succinic acid derivative (SAD) of this invention or a mixture with at least one additional component of this invention is added to a liquid hydrocarbon or liquid hydrocarbon-oxygenate gasoline each in an amount of about 0.0005–0.5 wt % of the gasoline. Preferably the gasoline is unleaded. The preferred additional components include polyethers (PE), polyolefin butyrolactam derivatives (BLD), butyrolactam alkoxylates (BLA), tridecanol alkoxylate derivatives (TAD) and polyisobutylene amine (PIBA).
