| 摘要 |
The invention provides (a) a diesel fuel formulation containing a triethoxypropane and a palm oil methyl ester (POME), and (b) a diesel fuel supplement containing a premix of a triethoxypropane and a POME. The triethoxypropane may be 1, 2, 3-triethoxypropane or 1,1,3- triethoxypropane. Also provided is a process for preparing the formulation, and its use in an internal combustion engine. A triethoxypropane may be used, in a POME or in a diesel fuel formulation containing a POME, to stabilise a glyceride, in particular a saturated monoglyceride. It may also be used to reduce the cloud point of a POME or of a POME-containing diesel fuel formulation, by an amount greater than conventional theory would have predicted to be possible. |
