Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
74 words
A lead-free or substantially lead-free hydrocarbon fuel composition comprising a major amount of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline boiling range and an amount of iron pentacarbonyl sufficient to provide from at least 0.01 to no greater than 0.22 gram of iron for each gallon of fuel, designed to confer antiknock properties to the fuel composition, but not confer excessive wear in engine parts in an internal combustion engine being operated on said fuel composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
74 words
A lead-free or substantially lead-free hydrocarbon fuel composition comprising a major amount of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline boiling range and an amount of iron pentacarbonyl sufficient to provide from at least 0.01 to no greater than 0.22 gram of iron for each gallon of fuel, designed to confer antiknock properties to the fuel composition, but not confer excessive wear in engine parts in an internal combustion engine being operated on said fuel composition.
