Diesel fuel for use in diesel engine-powered vehicles

Abstract

A special fuel is formulated for use with diesel engines, which are employed to power vehicles such as trucks, buses, tractors and boats.

Description

[0001] The herein disclosed invention finds applicability in the field of diesel fuels, and more particularly to be used in vehicles such as trucks, buses, tractors, boats, earthworking equipment and the like.[0002] Normal diesel fuel is unstable. This instability is due to the presence in normal diesel fuel of various olefins, free radicals, sulphur compounds and other reactive materials which can polymerize and react to form materials that impede the engine operation by plugging up fuel lines and filters, as well as fuel injection ports. Gasoline is much worse than diesel fuel in this respect but diesel fuels still can cause problems if stored for period of a year or longer. The diesel fuel of this invention is designed to remedy these problems.[0003] Diesel engines have better gas mileage, lower fuel cost and are more durable than gasoline engines, so they are mounted on trucks, buses, watercraft and the like. The number of diesel engines in use increases each year. Sulfur contai...

Benefits of technology

[0019] A further object is to produce a diesel fuel which will start-up and run vehicular engines without problems. The fuel will perform well at low temperatures.

[0020] An important object of this invention is to produce a diesel fuel which will efficiently operate in a diesel motor without causing undue pollution. The product will produce lower levels of exhaust pollutants.

[0021] A still further object of this invention is to produce a diesel fuel which will be free of microbiological contamination and has long-term storage stability.

[0022] A significant object of the invention is to produce a fuel with an adequate cetane number for smooth operation.

[0024] The diesel fuel of this invention is low in odor, with regard to both the odor of the fuel itself and the odor of the exhaust, and in addition the fuel is stable and will not degrade during long periods of storage. When used (albeit intermittently), the premium diesel fuel of this invention is kinder to the environment because it would have a less obnoxious exhaust odor and fuel odor. It does not have the black, smoky exhaust normally associated with diesel engines, and the exhaust emissions contain a lower level of pollutants as compared with regular diesel emissions. The diesel fuel will provide for easy start of diesel engines. These are the primary benefits of the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

None of the prior art references discloses diesel fuels for diesel engines used to power vehicles such as trucks, buses and boats which is formulated to produce less pollution and run the engine efficiently.
