Improving water tolerance of hydrocarbon-alcohol fuels - by adding oxygen-contg. heterocyclic cpd.

摘要

Use of water-compatible O-contg. heterocyclic cpds., esp. tetrahydrofuran (THF), as solubilising agents for water-contg. mixts. of hydrocarbons and alcohols, esp. gasoline/methanol fuels for IC engines, is claimed. THF stabilises the mixts. against phase sepn. at relatively high water contents (e.g. 0.6-2%).
