ENHANCING THE OPERATION OF A GASOLINE ENGINE

摘要

By incorporating a fluorinated aliphatic compound, more particularly a fluorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon, fluorinated aliphatic hydrocarbyl amine, or fluorinated aliphatic hydrocarbyl amine salt into a gasoline composition the distribution of the air/fuel mixture in the intake manifold of a multicylinder gasoline engine will be improved when that engine is run with the resulting blend, thereby increasing operating efficiency. The fluorinated compound has a total of about 8 to 30 carbon atoms, the total number of fluorine atoms that are attached to either or both of the carbon atoms that are the terminal carbon atom of an aliphatic chain and the carbon atom immediately adjacent thereto being at least three. Representative fluorinated compounds include perfluoro kerosene and perfluoro tributyl amine.
