Application of polyethers and acetals based on methanol and/or ethanol as fuels for Diesel engines and fuels for Diesel engines comprising these compounds

Abstract

Abstract 1. Use of a) polyethers of the general formula I R**1 -O-(A-O-)n -R**2 where A is an ethylene or 1,2-propylene group, R**1 is C1 -C8 -alkyl and R**2 is hydrogen or C1 -C4 -alkyl, and n is from 1 to 5, and/or b) acetals of the general formula II see diagramm : EP0014992,P13,F1 where R**3 is hydrogen or C1 -C12 -alkyl and R**4 is methyl or ethyl, and m is from 0 to 5, used individually or mixed with c) up to 45% by volume of ethanol (III) and/or methanol (IV) and/or d) up to 30% by volume of water (V) and/or e) up to 85% by volume of petroleum-based diesel fuels (VI) as fuels for diesel engines.
