Abstract

A minor proportion of a metal nitrate or carbonate is added to a hydrocarbon fuel containing at least 0.1 per cent sulphur by weight, the resultant fuel composition being used in internal combustion engines. The fuel may be any hydrocarbon fuel for actuating the various internal combustion engines and may contain any of the usual fuel additives, save that the term does not include gasolines containing lead tetraalkyls. The invention may be practised with fuels containing more than 5.0 per cent by weight of sulphur, but about 0.2-3.0 per cent is the preferred range. The sulphur may be free or combined. Suitable nitrates and carbonates are those of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, calcium, barium, strontium, titanium, vanadium, chromium, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, mercury, aluminium, tin, lead, antimony and bismuth. The nitrates are preferred. The inorganic salt may be present in quantities from 0.003 to 0.5 per cent by weight of the fuel. If soluble in the fuel, the salt may be directly dissolved therein, but where desirable a substance to enhance its solubility in the fuel (such as isopropyl alcohol) may be added. An aqueous or alcoholic solution, suspension or dispersion of the nitrate or carbonate may alternatively be injected into the engine intake air system or into the fuel-feed line prior to injection into the combustion chamber. The flow of solution, intermittent or continuous, may be regulated by a metering device. The salt may also be introduced into the combustion chamber as a suspension or dispersion in wax. In an example a solution of calcium nitrate in isopropyl alcohol is injected into the air intake system of a diesel engine operating on a fuel containing 0.7 per cent sulphur. The rate of injection is 0.6 c.c. per minute, and the concentration such that the fuel contains 0.022 per cent by weight of Ca(NO3)24H2O. Ring wear is lessened and piston cleanliness improved. Example 2 describes the addition of the same amount of calcium nitrate and 1 per cent isopropyl alcohol directly to the same fuel, and its use in the same engine.
