FUEL ADDITIVE AND FUEL TREATMENT PROCESS

摘要

Disclosed is a fuel additive concentrate having a high flash point which is characterized by a viscosity controlled for dosing in a Bernoulli feed device. The concentrate is high temperature stable and is in a form suitable for on-board dosing of fuel which can provide predictable feed rates from a feed device. It comprises a fuel soluble platinum group metal composition and/or a fuel soluble or dispersible cerium composition and/or a fuel soluble or dispersible iron compound and a high flash aromatic solvent. The solvent and the metal composition or compositions are present in relative amounts to provide a FBC concentrate having a flash point (ASTM D93-85) of greater than 140°F and, a preferred kinematic viscosity within the range of from 7 to 25 centistokes, as measured by ASTM D445 at 105°F.
