Abstract:
A fuel composition, comprising, as a major portion thereof, at least one fuel base and, as a minor portion thereof, at least one oxygenated compound, which comprises at least 0.05% by weight of at least one trialkoxyalkane of the formula (I): ##STR4## in which: X is a divalent hydrocarbon-containing group C.sub.n H.sub.2n, wherein n is 1, 2 or 3, each hydrogen atom optionally being substituted by a hydrocarbon-containing residue;R.sub.1 R'.sub.1 and R"".sub.1 are each independently linear or branched alkyl groups comprising from 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally at least one oxygen atom, two of the R.sup.1, R"".sub.1 groups optionally being connected to form a heterocycle containing 5 or 6 atoms; andR.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or a linear C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl radical, or R.sub.2 forms, by bonding with the hydrocarbon-containing group X, a ring comprising 5 or 6 carbon atoms.
