A fuel composition contains (a) a medium substantially free of to free of sulphur; (b) a detergent/dispersant additive; and (c) a liquid fuel where the medium substantially free of to free of sulphur is an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent, and where the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent is present from at least about 50 wt % to about 100 wt % of the total amount of the medium. The fuel composition is prepared by a process and is useful in a process, where the fuel composition includes a medium that is a hydrocarbon or a nonhydrocarbon or a mixture thereof, to increase the efficiency of an exhaust after-treatment device of an internal combustion engine.

Fuel composition containing a medium substantially free of sulphur and process thereof

Internal combustion engines exhibit improved efficiency of the emissions control system by using a lubricating oil composition of a base oil, an alkali or alkaline earth metal-containing detergent; a metal salt of one or more phosphorus-containing compounds represented by the formula (I), wherein Xand Xare independently O or S, and Rand Rare independently hydrocarbyl groups, the average total number of carbon atoms in Rand Rfor the one or more phosphorus-containing compounds being at least 10.4; and an acylated nitrogen-containing compound having at least about 10 alphatic carbon atoms and a TBN of at least about 2; the lubricating oil composition being characterized by a phosphorus concentration of up to about 0.12% by weight and the substantial absence of copper, thereby generating a lean-phosphorus containing exhaust gas.

Low-sulfur consumable lubricating oil composition and a method of operating an internal combustion engine using the same

This invention relates to a method of operating an internal combustion engine comprising a valve train, said method comprising: (A) operating said engine using a normally liquid or gaseous fuel; (B) lubricating components of said valve train using a solid film lubricant; and (C) lubricating said engine, including said components of said valve train, using a low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition, said low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition optionally containing an extreme-pressure additive comprised of metal and phosphorus, provided the amount of phosphorus contributed to said low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition by said extreme-pressure additive does not exceed about 0.08% by weight based on the weight of said low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition. In one embodiment, the inventive method further comprises the following additional steps: (D) removing part of said low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition from said engine, said removed part of said low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition (i) being combined with said fuel and consumed with said fuel as said engine is operated or (ii) being combined with the exhaust gas from said engine and removed from said engine with said exhaust gas; and (E) adding an additional amount of said low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition to said engine to replace said removed part of said low-phosphorus or phosphorus-free lubricating oil composition.
