International Classification:
C10L 1/18
US Classification:
44451
Abstract:

US Classification:
44451, 44331, 44347, 44415, 44434, 44450
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the use of fuel additives in duel delivery systems contacting or combusting fuels containing ethanol, such as E85. The additives improve the properties of the resulting fuel, minimize the impact of the fuel on the components of the fuel delivery system, improve the protection of the engine and the fuel delivery system, and also enhance the benefits to the consumer and to the environment of utilizing varying amounts of ethanol as a fuel in combustion engines.

US Classification:
44457, 44385, 44412, 44347, 44450, 44331
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method to reduce wear and prevent deposit formation in an internal combustion engine, said method comprising combusting in said engine a fuel composition comprising gasoline, ethanol and at least one fuel additive. There is also provided a composition to improve wear protection in an internal combustion engine combusting an ethanol-containing fuel, said composition comprising gasoline, ethanol, and one or more fuel additive materials.

International Classification:
B08B 7/00
US Classification:
134 20, 44451, 510185
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for reducing deposit formation in engines combusting a fuel containing ethanol and a corrosion inhibitor. The present disclosure also provides compositions and methods for reducing deposit formation in engines combusting a fuel containing ethanol, a corrosion inhibitor, and a dispersant.
Middle Distillate Fuels With A Sustained Conductivity Benefit
Timothy J. Brennan - Glen Allen VA, US Alexander M. Kulinowski - Mechanicsville VA, US
International Classification:
C10L 1/224
US Classification:
44348
Abstract:
The disclosure provides conductivity improving concentrates and methods for improving conductivity and reducing risks associated with static discharge in middle distillate fuel compositions, particularly ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels. The conductivity improvement is provided in the presence of a basic nitrogen component and is sustained for an extended period, thus permitting the antistatic agent to be pre-blended with in an additive concentrate or to the fuel well in advance of the time when the improved conductivity might actually be needed, such as when the fuel is dispensed into a bulk container.
Conductivity Of Middle Distillate Fuels With A Combination Of Detergent And Cold Flow Improver
Alexander M. Kulinowski - Mechanicsville VA, US Timothy J. Brennan - Glenn Allen VA, US
International Classification:
C10L 1/224
US Classification:
44348
Abstract:
The disclosure provides conductivity improving concentrates and methods for improving conductivity and reducing risks associated with static discharge in middle distillate fuel compositions, particularly diesel fuels. The conductivity improvement is provided by the combination of a detergent and a cold flow improver, which are preferably and advantageously pre-blended in an additive concentrate. The disclosure is particularly beneficial for ultra-low sulfur fuel compositions in that it provides a conductivity benefit without adding sulfur into the fuel composition.
