Abstract
A fuel conditioner comprises a polar oxygenated hydrocarbon having a molecular weight from about 250 to about 500; an acid number of from about 25 to about 125, preferably from 50 to 100; and a saponification number from about 30 to about 250. The polar compound is combined with a compatibilizing agent such as an alcohol. An aromatic hydrocarbon and/or a hydrocarbon base stock may also be employed. For internal combustion engines which do not recycle exhaust to heat the fuel, a hydrophilic separant is added to cause any water present to form a separate layer. The conditioner is intended for use in internal combustion engines burning gasoline, diesel fuel, or hydrocarbon/alcohol fuels, and for boilers burning No. 2 oil and the like. Use of the fuel conditioner decreases fuel consumption, decreases engine wear, reduces carbonaceous deposits, and lowers 'octane' requirements.
