An energy-saving fuel additive for gasoline and diesel engines which comprises as active ingredients a catalytic mixture of a major proportion of picric acid and a minor proportion of ferrous sulphate in a combination solvent of alkyl benzene, isopropyl alcohol, and water which optionally may include a minor amount of nitrobenzene. This additive is preferably atomized upon introduction to the engine and may also be added by bulk addition to the fuel container. A preferred solvent for atomized use is isopropyl alcohol, 60% by volume; water, 38% by volume; toluene, 2% by volume. For bulk addition one imperial gallon will contain: }Maximum Range }Ferrous sulfate 0.2 g 0.1 - 0.2 g }Trinitrophenol 3.5 g 3.5 - 7.0 g }Nitrobenzene 0.16 g 0.1 - 2.0 g }Toluene 3.37 kg 3.37 - 1.12 kg }Isopropyl alcohol 1.12 kg 1.12 - 3.37 kg } A catalytic action occurs in the binary active ingredient due to the presence of the metallic ion Fe++ in the composition, causing the slightly heavier and less volatile ends to burn completely, thus increasing the energy and decreasing the emissions of raw hydrocarbons from the exhaust. |
