  • Patent number: 5312460
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel composition comprising a hydrocarbon boiling in the gasoline or diesel range and from about 30 to about 5,000 parts per million of an alkylphenyl poly(oxypropylene) aminocarbamate having at least one basic nitrogen and an average molecular weight of about 600 to 6,000 and wherein the alkyl group is substantially straight-chain of at least 15 carbon atoms.
