Patent ID: 8518128

Claim:
A fuel additive composition comprising one or more hydrogen bonding compounds derived from a first long chain fatty acid, and one or more esters of a second long chain fatty acid, wherein the hydrogen bonding compounds and the esters are soluble in petroleum distillate fuels, the first and second long chain fatty acids are the same or different and the one or more hydrogen bonding compounds are present in the additive composition in an amount of from 10% to 99%, by weight, of the additive and are selected from: (a) a first long chain fatty acid amine; (b) a first long chain fatty acid amide, wherein the amide is an ethanolamide of the first long chain fatty acid, wherein the ethanolamide is produced from the reaction of ethanolamine and the first long chain fatty acid; (c) a first long chain fatty acid imide, wherein the first long chain fatty acid comprises a conjugated diene and the imide is produced by a Diels-Alder reaction of a maleimide and the conjugated diene; and (d) a first long chain fatty acid polyol ester.
