Abstract
Abstract The reaction products of hydrocarbon polyamines having a long, substantially aliphatic, hydrocarbon chain bonded to a di- or higher polyamine with certain polyfunctional coupling agents find use as detergents in distillate fuel compositions. The hydrocarbon group is normally branched chain and derived from natural sources or polyolefins, substantially free of aromatic substitution and of about 420 to 10,000 molecular weight. The poly-functional coupling agents are certain polyhalides, polycarboxylic acids, and organic polyisocyanates.
