The subject matter of Claim J to which is added from 3 to 13 parts of dimethylaminophenol. 657788 This invention relates to an additive or supple~ ment for increasing the efficiency of gasoline as an engine fuel. The principal object of the invention is to provide an economical, highly efficient additive solution which can be added in comparatively small quantities to commercial gasoline and which will act to increase the efficiency of combustion of the gasoline so as to increase the mileage per gallon. Another object of the invention is to provide a gasoline supplement of the above characteristics which will act both as a detergent to remove accumulations of gum and sludge from the fuel passages, valves, etc., and which will also act to prevent the formation of the objectionable gums, sludges, and other deleterious products. ‘A further object 1s to provide a gasoline supple~ ment which will cause more complete combustion of the gas— line so as to reduce ash and carbon deposits in the engine and in the engine exhaust system. ‘A etill further object 1s to provide a combust~ ability improving supplement for gasoline which will inhibit oxidation and corrosion of the engine fuel passages and which will prevent oxidation of any metals or metal salts present in the gasoline. Briefly, the improved gasoline supplement comprises rie * 657788 the combination of combustion improving chemicals, sludge solvents, catalysts, corrosion inhibitors and anti~oxldizers 4n a single highly concentrated fluid compoung, minute quan tithes of which can be added to relatively large volumes of gasoline either at the refinery or in the fuel tank of an automotive vehicle. As a combustion improver, the improved supplement employs formaldehyde preferably as a solution of hemiacetal of monomeric and polymeric formaldehyde dissolved in methyl alcohol. such a solution is on the market under the name of “pethyl formcel" and is more particularly used in the formation of plastic and resin compounds. It has been found that "methyl formeel" will form a continuous phase with the organic com- pounds of gasoline to produce a more intimate mixture and a more complete combustion of the hydrocarbons, As a gum ana sludge solvent, the improved supple~ ment employs an acrylic ester and acrylic resin solution such a8 @ product known on the chemical market as "Acryloid #423" which has been found to be highly effective as a dispersant and stabilizer in liquid petroleum fuels. It is entirely organic, contains no metals to contribute to the formation of deposits and is completely ashless. Acryloid 423 has the following properties: Gravity, CAPT 31.5 Pounds/gallon 723 Viscosity at 1008F, cs. 800 at 100°F, sus 3700 ' at 2100F, 200 * at 210°F, 950 657788 Flash, PM, °F.* 130 Color, A.S.T.M. 2 Neutralization Number, A.S.T.M.D-974 0.1 *Reflects flash point of carrier. To assist in the dispersing and solvent action, methylene dimethyl ether and an acrylic ester and acrylic resin solution is employed. The methylene dimethyl ether is available under the trade name of "Methylal". The Methylal is a low boiling chemical of powerful solvent properties and is a rapid and efficient solvent and dispersant for the acrylics and other resins present. A further dispersant is used in the form of 2, 4, 6 = tri (dimethylaminiomethyl) phenol known under the trade name of DMP #30. The dispersing properties of the DMP #30 is assisted and greatly increased by the addition of additional dimethyl- aminoethyl phenal to the DMP #30. The additional dimethlamino- ethylphenol is available on the open market under the trade name of "DMP #10". As a metal deactivator, propanediamine is employed. This is also available on the chemical market under the name of D.M.D., which is an 80% solution of N.Nt-disalicylidene 1, 2 propanediamine in an organic solvent. It acts to im- Prove stability, inhibit metal corrosion and appears to act as a catalyst to increase the efficiency of the other active ingredients. 657788 For preventing oxidation and to increase the sta~ bility of the final gasoline mixture, butyl~para~phenylene diamine 1s employed. This 1s also available on the market as a complete mixture under the name of DuPont #22. It acts to prevent oxidation of the unstable hydrocarbon components so as to prevent the formation of undesirable oxide sludge de+ posits. While the above ingredients are available upon the open market for various chemical uses, their use for the pur~ poses of this invention and the combination of the elements as hereinafter described have not heretofore been suggested. In the invention, the above ingredients are combined in proper proportions in a suitable carrier or solvent to pro~ vide a concentrated liquid which can be readily introduced 4n minute quantities into gasoline. Isopropyl aleohol, toluol and kerosene provide a suitable carrier or solvent. ‘The Asopropyl alcohol, in addition to its carrier action, acts to provide additional energy as well as to act to prevent Loe formation from any water present. The preferred formula for a 56 gallon drum of the Y Amproved gasoline additive is as follows: Methylene dimethyl ether (Methylal) 6 gals. Acrylicester & acrylic resin solution (Acryloid 425) 1 gal. 2,°4, 6 = tri (@imethylemino-methyl) phenol (DMP #50) 1 gal. Diméthylaminoe thy1phenol (DMP #10) ldgals. Hemiacetal of monomeric & polymeric formaldehyde in methyl alcohol (Methyl Formeel) 1/8gal. 657788 Propanediamine (DMD) 10 oz. Butyl-para~phenylene diamine (Dupont #22) 22 oz. Isopropyl alcohol 16 gals. Toluol 20 1/8gals Kerosene 10 gals. Total 55 gals. Resolving to parts the formula would read: Methylene dimethyl ether 10.90 parts Acrylic ester acrylic resin solution 1.85 parts 2, 4, 6 - tri (dimethylamino~methyl) phenol 1.85 parts Dime thy1~asine@thy1~phenol 2.72 parts Hemlacetal of monomeric & polymeric eeeaidehyde & methyl alcohol 22 parts Propanediamine +22 parts Butyl~para-phenylene diamine 45 parts Isopropyl alcohol 27.25 parts Toluol 36.36 parts Kerosene __18.16 parts _ Total 100.00 parte For best economy and best results, one gallon of the above intermixture 1s added to each 1000 gallons of gas oline or .126 oz. per gallon. the above formula 1s for automobile and truck gas tank uses. For use in extremely high gallonage such as at a refinery where the supplement would be used in tank car quantities, » more concentrated solution would be preferred. the formula for a concentrated solution of 1 gallon of the supplement would be as follows: ~5- 657788 Methylene dimethyl ether (Methylal) 42 oz. Acrylicester & acrylic resin solus tion (Acryloid #423 8 oz. 2, 4, 6 = tri (aimethyl-amino-methyl) phenol (DMP #50) 8 oz. Dimethylaminoethylphenol (DMP #10) 16 oz. Hemiacetal of monomeric & polymeric formaldehyde in methyl alcohol (Methyl Formeel) 16 ml. Propandiamine (pup) 26 ml. Butyl-para~phenylene diamine (Dupont #22) 17-1 ml. Isopropyl alchohol 24 o2. Toluol 20 oz. Kerosene 8 oz. Total 1 gal. = 128 oz. For the most efficient and economic results 1 gallon of the above concentrated solution 1s added to each 4000 gallons of gasoline or .032 oz. per gallon. Resolving the above to parts the concentrated for~ mula would appear as follows: Methylene dimethyl ether 32.81 parte Acrylicester & acrylic resin solution 6.250 parts 2, 4, 6 ~ tri (dimethylamino-methyl) phenol 6.260 parts Dimethylaminoethyl phenol 12.500 parts Hemiacetal of monomeric & polymeric formaldehyde in methyl alcohol -417 parts Propanediamine +678 parts Butyl~pararphenylene diamine 460 parts Isopropyl alcohol 18.750 parts Toluol 15.625 parts Kerosene 6.250 parts Total 100 parts 657788 The above ingredients are intermixed at room tem perature and at atmospheric pressure. Actual accurate road tests of the above supple ment have shown an increase RPM without change in throttle setting of from 2000 to 5000 RPM and a horsepower increase of from 44 to 60. A test upon 60 trucks having an average of 7.85 miles per gallon’ before treatment with this improved supple- ment showed an increase to an average of 8.67 miles per Gallon after treatment. It can be seen from the above formulae that the proportions of the ingredients can be varied within kimits depending upon the concentrations desired. The variations, however, should be between the regular formula and the concen+ trated formula given above. It has been found that the tri (dimethylamino~methyl) phenol may be omitted without noticeably affecting the results, It has been further found that the addition of a small per= centage (say 4%) of tertiary alkyl primary aliphalic armine will assist in the stabilization of Diesel fuels and increase the sludge inhibiting properties of the additive. The latter product is available upon the chemical market under the trade name of "Primene 61-R". For burner fuels, it is preferred to add magesium sulphide to the preferred formula above in the amount of 5%. ot SUBSTITUTE REMPLACEMENT SECTION is not Present Cette Section est Absente
