A residual fuel oil composition comprises a residual fuel oil, preferably a No.6 fuel oil, having present therein an amount of at least one zirconium salt and at least one cerium salt. The salts are of defined fatty acids, tall oil or naphthenic acid, or of defined alcohols, phenols and sulfonic acids. The total amount of salts present is such as to be sufficient to decrease the quantity of particulate matter which will form when the fuel is combusted. Preferred salts are octanoates. Suitably 1 to 1000 ppm in total, calculated as metals, of additives are present. |
