METHOD AND FUEL COMPOSITION FOR REDUCING OCTANE REQUIREMENT INCREASE

摘要

A gasoline composition contains a minor amount of at least one of a specified group of quaternary ammonium hydroxides for decreasing or reversing the octane requirement increase (ORI) for a fuel-fired spark ignition internal combustion engine. Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and tricaprylicmethylammonium hydroxide are two preferred compounds for use.
