Abstract
Abstract A process for stabilizing fuels during storage by blending therewith oxalic acid derivatives of mono- or bis-succinimides of polyalkylpolyamines. The fuels are stabilized by the presence of 10 to 100 parts per thousand barrels of these oxamides. For particular applications mixtures of mono- and bis-succinimides in varying proportions can be used.

A process for stabilizing middle distillate and diesel fuels which comprises blending with said fuels from 10 to 100 parts per thousand barrels of at least one mono- or bis-imide oxamide of the formulas ##STR7## in which R is a hydrocarbyl radical having from 8 to 400 carbon atoms, x and y are numbers range from 0 to 6 whose additive total is from 1 to 6, R' is a hydrogen radical or a mono-, or bi-acyl radical of oxalic acid, and R" is a hydrogen or hydrocarbyl substituted succinic-N-ethylene radical having the formula: ##STR8##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A process for stabilizing middle distillate and diesel fuels which comprises blending with said fuels from 10 to 100 parts per thousand barrels of at least one mono- or bis-imide oxamide of the formulas ##STR7## in which R is a hydrocarbyl radical having from 8 to 400 carbon atoms, x and y are numbers range from 0 to 6 whose additive total is from 1 to 6, R' is a hydrogen radical or a mono-, or bi-acyl radical of oxalic acid, and R" is a hydrogen or hydrocarbyl substituted succinic-N-ethylene radical having the formula: ##STR8##
