Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Diesel fuel composition comprising a diesel base fuel and at least one blowing agent wherein the blowing agent is selected from ester compounds, oxalate compounds and diazene compounds and wherein the blowing agent has a solubility in diesel base fuel at 25° C. of 100 mg/kg or greater, a decomposition temperature in the range from 50° C. to 300° C. as measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and wherein the diesel fuel composition has an evaporation rate of greater than that of the diesel base fuel as measured by acoustic levitation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A method for increasing evaporation rate of a diesel fuel composition in an internal combustion engine which method comprises adding to the diesel fuel composition an amount of a blowing agent, wherein the blowing agent is nopyl acetate, wherein the blowing agent is present in the diesel fuel composition at a level in the range from 0.001 wt % to 5 wt %, by weight of the diesel fuel composition, and wherein the diesel fuel composition comprises at least…
