A fuel composition comprising a major amount of a gasoline fuel having a maximum sulfur content of 150 ppm by weight and a minor amount of at least one gasoline fuel additive having detergent action or having a valve seat wear-inhibiting action, wherein this gasoline fuel additive has at least one hydrophobic hydrocarbon radical having a number-average molecular weight (MN) of from 85 to 20 000 and at least one polar moiety, and wherein the fuel composition also has a content of at least one lower alkanol of from about 5 to 75% by volume.

FUEL COMPOSITION
This application is a divisional application of co-pending application Serial No. 2,520,578, filed April 8, 2004.
The present invention relates to a fuel composition comprising a major amount of a specific lower alkanol-containing gasoline fuel and a minor amount of selected gasoline fuel additives.
Carburetors and intake systems of gasoline engines, and also injection systems for fuel metering, are contaminated to an increasing degree by impurities which are caused by dust particles from the air, uncombusted hydrocarbon residues from the combustion chamber and the crankcase vent gases conducted into the carburetor.
These residues shift the air-fuel ratio when idling and in the lower partial load range, so that the mixture becomes leaner, the combustion more incomplete and in turn the proportions of uncombusted or partially combusted hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas become higher and the gasoline consumption increases.
It is known that these disadvantages can be prevented by using fuel additives to keep valves and carburetors or injection systems of gasoline engines clean (cf., for example:
M. Rossenbeck in Katalysatoren, Tenside, Mineralaladditive [Catalysts, surfactants, mineral oil additives], Eds.: J. Falbe, U. Hasserodt, p. 223, G. Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart 1978).
Moreover, in gasoline engines of older design, the problem of valve seat wear occurs on operation with lead-free gasoline fuels. To counteract this, valve seat wear-inhibiting additives have been developed which are based on alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds.
For trouble-free use, modern gasoline engines require fuels having a complex profile of properties which can only be ensured in combination with appropriate gasoline fuel additives. Such gasoline fuels generally consist of a complex mixture of chemical compounds and are character;zed by physical quantities. However, the interplay between gasoline fuels and appropriate additives is still in need of improvement in the known fuel compositions with regard to the action of cleaning and keeping clean, and the valve seat wear-inhibiting action.
It is an object of the present invention to find a more effective gasoline fuel-gasoline fuel additive composition. In particular, the intention is to find more effective additive formulations.
=
We have found that this object is achieved by a fuel composition which comprises a major amount of a gasoline fuel having a maximum sulfur content of 150 ppm by weight and a minor amount of at least one gasoline fuel additive having detergent action or having a valve seat wear-inhibiting action, wherein this gasoline fuel additive has at least one hydrophobic hydrocarbon radical having a number-average molecular weight (MN) of from 85 to 20 000 and at least one polar moiety, and wherein the fuel composition also has a content of at least one lower alkanol of from about 5 to 75% by volurne.
The polar moiety is selected from:
(a) mono- or polyamino groups having up to 6 nitrogen atoms, of which at least one nitrogen atom has basic properties, (b) nitro groups, if appropriate in combination with hydroxyl groups, (c) hydroxyl groups in combination with mono- or polyamino groups, in which at least one nitrogen atom has basic properties, (d) carboxyl groups or the.r alkali metal or their alkaline earth metal salts, (e) sulfonic acid groups or their alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, (f) polyoxy-C2- to -C4-alkylene groups which are terminated by hydroxyl groups, mono- or polyamino groups, in which at least one nitrogen atom has basic properties, or by carbamate groups, (g) carboxylic ester groups, (h) moieties derived from succinic anhydride and having hydroxyl and/or amino and/or amino and/or imido groups and (i) moieties obtained by IVlannich reaction of substituted phenols with aldehydes and mono- or polyamines.
The alkanol used in accordance with the invention is preferably a straight-chain or branched, saturated C1-C6-mono- or ¨diol, in particular a C1¨C3-mono alkanol, such as methanol, ethanol, n- or i-propanol, or a mixture of a plurality of these alkanols.

Such products are described in particular in EP-A 310 875, EP-A
356 725, EP-A 700 985 and US-A 4 877 416. In the case of polyethers, such products also have carrier oil properties. Typical examples of these are tridecanol butoxylates, isotridecanol butoxylates, isononylphenol butoxylates and polyisobutenol butoxylates and propoxylates and also the corresponding reaction products with ammonia.

Such products are described in particular in EP-A 310 875, EP-A
356 725, EP-A 700 985 and US-A 4 877 416. In the case of polyethers, such products also have carrier oil properties. Typical examples of these are tridecanol butoxylates, isotridecanol butoxylates, isononylphenol butoxylates and polyisobutenol butoxylates and propoxylates and also the corresponding reaction products with ammonia.
Additives comprising carboxylic ester groups (g) are preferably esters of mono-, di- or tricarboxylic acids with long-chain alkanols or polyols, in particular those having a minimum viscosity of 2 mm2/s at 100 C, as described in particular in DE-A 38 38 918.
The mono-, di- or tricarboxylic acids used may be aliphatic or aromatic acids, and particularly suitable ester alcohols or ester polyols are long-chain representatives having, for example, from 6 to 24 carbon atoms. Typical representatives of the esters are adipates, phthalates, isophthalates, terephthalates and trimellitates of isooctanol, of isononanol, of isodecanol and of isotridecanol. Such products also have carrier oil properties.
Additives comprising moieties derived from succinic anhydride and having hydroxyl and/or amino and/or amido and/or imido groups (h) are preferably corresponding derivatives of polyisobutenylsuccinic anhydride which are obtainable by reacting conventional or highly reactive polyisobutene having Mn = from 300 to 5 000 with maleic anhydride by a thermal route or via the chlorinated polyisobutene.
Particular interest attaches to derivatives with aliphatic polyamines such as ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine or tetraethylenepentamine. Such gasoline fuel additives are described in particular in US-A 4 849 572.
Additives comprising moieties obtained by Mannich reaction of substituted phenols with aldehydes and mono- or polyamines (i) are preferably reaction products of polyisobutene-substituted phenols with formaldehyde and mono- or polyamines such as ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine or dimethylaminopropylamine, The polyisobutenyl-substituted phenols may stem from conventional or highly reactive polyisobutene having Mn = from 300 to 5 000.
Such "polyisobutene-Mannich bases" are described in particular in EP-A 831 141.
For a more precise definition of the gasoline fuel additives detailed individually, reference is explicitly made here to the disclosures of the abovementioned prior art documents.
The fuel composition according to the invention may additionally comprise further customary components and additives. These include primarily carrier oils without marked detergent action, for example mineral carrier oils (base oils), in particular those of the viscosity class "Solvent Neutral (SN) 500 to 2 000", and synthetic carrier oils based on olefin polymers having Mn = from 400 to 1800, in particular based on polybutene or polyisobutene (hydrogenated or nonhydrogenated), on poly-alpha-olefins or poly(internal olefin)s.

Amines are also optionally added to lower the pH
of the fuel.
Also useful for the fuel composition according to the invention are in particular combinations of the gasoline fuel described with a mixture of gasoline fuel additives having the polar moiety (f) and corrosion inhibitors and/or lubricity additives based on carboxylic acids or fatty acids which may be present as monomeric and/or dimeric species.
