METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE OXIDATION STABILITY OF BIODIESEL AS MEASURED BY THE RANCIMAT TEST

摘要

The oxidation stability of biodiesel fuel or mixtures of biodiesel fuel and conventional diesel fuel is improved by at least 50% by the addition to such fuel of at least 250 mg of N-M (C1-C5) alkyl cyclohexyl amine per liter of the biodiesel fuel or per liter of the biodiesel fuel component in the mixture of biodiesel fuel and conventional diesel fuel as compared to the oxidation stability of said fuel without such additive.
