Abstract
Abstract The detergent properties of a motor fuel are improved by incorporating therein a minor amount of a succinimide oxamide prepared by reacting a polyalkyleneamine succinimide with an amount of oxalic acid sufficient to react with at least 30 percent of the reactive nitrogen moieties on the succinimide chain.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A fuel composition comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline boiling range and containing an effective detergent amount of detergent compound of the formula selected from the group consisting of I, II, and mixtures thereof, ##STR5## in which R is a hydrocarbyl radical having from 8 to 400 carbon atoms, x and y are numbers which range from 0 to 6 whose additive total is from 1 to 6 and which can be the same or different, 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 of the formula: ##STR6## Wherein from about 40 to 100 wt% of said detergent compound is the oxalic acid derivative of mono-succinimide and the remainder comprises the oxalic acid derivative of bis-succinimide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A fuel composition comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline boiling range and containing an effective detergent amount of detergent compound of the formula selected from the group consisting of I, II, and mixtures thereof, ##STR5## in which R is a hydrocarbyl radical having from 8 to 400 carbon atoms, x and y are numbers which range from 0 to 6 whose additive total is from 1 to 6 and which can be the same or different, 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 of the formula: ##STR6## Wherein from about 40 to 100 wt% of said detergent compound is the oxalic acid derivative of mono-succinimide and the remainder comprises the oxalic acid derivative of bis-succinimide.
