<p>Improved energy-saving fuel additive for jet engines, gasoline and diesel engines, including additions to domestic heating and light industrial oils (#2 and #3) and residual or bunker fuel (#4, #5, and #6), which comprises as active ingredients a catalytic mixture of a major proportion of picric acid and a minor proportion of cupric sulfate. Cupric sulfate .01 - .03%; Picric acid 1 - 2%; Methanol 35 - 50%; Isopropyl alcohol 15 - 5%; Toluene 43 - 48%; Nitrobenzene .6 - 1.0%; Primene 81R .5 - 1.0%. Additional variations include (1) the replacement of the toluene with about 10% methanol and 90% isopropyl alcohol for toxicity reasons and (2) replacement of the toluene with 10% methanol, 45% isopropyl alcohol, and 45% kerosene as a cost-reducing factor. A preferred additive is: Cupric sulfate .02%; Picric acid 1.54%; Methanol 35%; Isopropyl alcohol 15%; Toluene 48.3%; Nitrobenzene .8%; Primene 81R .05%</p> |
