<p>A hydrocarbon fuel composition comprising a hydrocarbon fuel and an amount sufficient to provide dispersancy of a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic diamide, wherein the hydrocarbyl substituent, which is advantageously a polyisobutene, is of a size sufficient to render the diamide soluble in the fuel, typically from 35 to 300 carbon atoms, and the diamide is obtained by reacting at elevated temperature a secondary amine, for example an N-alkyl piperazine, with either a hydrocarbyl-substituted succinic acid or an anhydride, ester or monoamide derivative thereof.</p> |
