Diesel fuel composition

Claim 1

A pollution free, anti-wear diesel fuel composition comprising a non-lubricating mixture of hydrocarbons boiling in the range from about 310° to 475° F. containing from about 0.01 to 0.05 weight percent of an additive mixture composed of (A) from 100 to 200 parts by weight of a polymeric acid selected from the group consisting of (1) dimeric acid produced by the condensation of unsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having between about 16 and about 18 carbon atoms per molecule (2) dimeric acid produced by the condensation of hydroxy-aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having between about 16 and about 18 carbon atoms per molecule, (3) trimeric acids produced by the condensation of unsaturated aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having between about 16 and about 18 carbon atoms per molecule and (4) trimeric acids produced by the condensation of hydroxy-aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having between about 16 and about 18 carbon atoms per molecule, (B) 50 to 150 parts by weight of a normally liquid completely or partially neutral amine salt of an oxo-alkyl acid ester or orthophosphoric acid in which salt esterifying oxo-alkyl group contains 13 to 16 carbon atoms and the amine is an aliphatic hydrocarbon mono-amine of 6 to 24 carbon atoms in which each aliphatic hydrocarbon radical is attached to the nitrogen through a saturated carbon atom, (C) from 5 to 15 parts by weight of an aliphatic ester demulsifier consisting of the alkoxylated product from the reaction of a monocarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of palmitic acid and oleic acid and ethylene oxide or propylene oxide to a molecular weight ranging from 1000 to about 2000, and (D) an amount of saturated hydrocarbon solvent effective to provide a homogeneous solution of said additive mixture.
