FUEL ADDITIVE COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING AROMATIC ESTERS OF POLYALKYLPHENOXYALKANOLS AND POLY(OXYALKYLENE) AMINES

摘要

A fuel additive composition comprising: (a) an aromatic ester compound of formula (I), or a fuel soluble salt thereof, wherein R is hydroxy, nitro or -(CH2)x-NR5R6, wherein R5 and R6 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms ans X is O or 1; R1 is hydrogen, hydroxy, nitro or -NR7R8, wherein R7 and R8 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R2 and R3 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and R4 is a polyalkyl group having an average molecular weight in the range of about 450 to 5,000; and (b) a poly(oxyalkylene) amine having at least one basic nitrogen atom and a sufficient number of oxyalkylene units to render the poly(oxyalkylene) amine soluble in hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline or diesel fuel range. The fuel additive compositions of this invention are useful as fuel additives for the prevention and control of engine deposits.
