Definitions

  • This invention relates to fuel additive compositions that can be used for control of intake valve deposits without significantly affecting octane requirement increase in the engine.
  • the additive systems described in U.S. 5,242,469 comprise an ester and at least one dispersant component chosen from certain monosuccinimides, bis(succinimides), polyolefin polyamines, and benzylamine derivatives.
  • the benzylamine derivatives appear to be Mannich-type detergents*.
  • These additive combinations may further contain a polyoxyalkylene glycol or derivative thereof having a molecular weight of 500-5000, preferably 1000-3000.
  • a specified type of lubricating oil fraction may be included in the additive mixture.
  • the polyoxyalkylene glycol derivatives referred to in the text of the patent include the ethers, esters and ether aminoacid esters of the polyoxyalkylene glycol.
  • the gasoline is to contain (a) from 75 to 450 ppmw of a specified group of Mannich base detergents in combination with (b) from 75 to 175 ppmw of an oil-soluble poly(oxyalkylene) alcohol, glycol or polyol or mono or di ether thereof, wherein the weight ratio of (a) to (b) in the mixture is at least 0.43.
  • oil-soluble poly(oxyalkylene) alcohols, glycols or polyols or mono or di ethers thereof do not yield equivalent results on intake valve cleanliness when used in conjunction with a Mannich base detergent, and that for reasons not presently understood, the viscosity properties of the poly(oxyalkylene) component appear to have a profound effect on the intake valve cleanliness performance of the overall composition.
  • this invention provides, a fuel-soluble additive composition which comprises
  • the composition contains one or more liquid poly- ⁇ -olefins which, whether a single poly- ⁇ -olefin or a mixture of different poly- ⁇ -olefins, has a viscosity that is not substantially in excess of the viscosity of the poly(oxyalkylene) compound.
  • the proportions of a) to b) in the compositions of this invention are such that there are from 0.2 to 5 parts by weight of a) per part by weight of b), preferably from 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of a) per part by weight of b), and more preferably from 0.8 to 2 parts by weight of a) per part by weight of b), with the weight of a) being on an "active ingredient basis".
  • component a) will usually be supplied in admixture on a weight basis with a minor amount of a hydrocarbon diluent and a minor amount of unreacted polyolefin used in making the alkylated phenol from which the Mannich detergent is produced.
  • proportions of a) to b) are based on the content of Mannich base detergent in component a) excluding the weight of any diluent or solvent and any unreacted polyolefin which may be associated therewith in the form in which it is supplied.
  • Component b) will normally be supplied in undiluted form, and in such case its weight can be used directly in calculating the ratio of a) to b).
  • the weight of b) should be based on the weight of the poly(oxyalkylene) compound itself and should likewise exclude the weight of any such solvent or diluent associated therewith.
  • any such ancillary solvent or diluent must not adversely affect the intake valve deposit control performance of the above additive composition in any material way.
  • ethers, esters or other inert solvents or diluents may be present in the additive composition.
  • the compositions of the invention include one or more poly- ⁇ -olefins which collectively have viscosities at 40°C and 100°C that are not substantially in excess of the viscosity of the poly(oxyalkylene) compound. More particularly, these collective poly- ⁇ -olefin viscosities are not more than approximately 25 percent higher than the corresponding 40°C and 100°C viscosities of the poly(oxyalkylene) compound being used. Not only does this ensure that the intake valve deposit control effectiveness of the composition will not be adversely affected in any material way, but it keeps the cost of the additive composition to a minimum.
  • this invention provides a method for reducing intake valve deposits in gasoline engines.
  • the method comprises fueling and operating said engines with the fuel composition of the present invention.

  • gasoline soluble means that the additive under discussion has sufficient solubility in the particular gasoline fuel composition in which it is being used to dissolve at 20°C to the extent of at least the minimum concentration required to achieve control of intake valve deposits in an internal combustion engine operated on the resulting fuel.
  • the additive should (and will) have a substantially greater gasoline solubility than this.
  • the term does not require that the additive be soluble in all proportions in the gasoline fuel composition.
