- the gasoline sample is placed in a sample bottle and is drawn into the glass carburetor through a 20 gage hypodermic needle. Evaporation of the gasoline in the gas tube further cools the cold moist air with resulting ice formation on the throttle plate.
- the formation of ice on the throttle plate causes an engine to stall and it has been found that this condition is equivalent to a pressure drop across the throttle plate of about 0.9 inches of mercury and the time required to reach this pressure drop is noted.
- the vacuum pump is adjusted to give a vacuum of 1.8 inches of mercury and the test is run until either a pressure of 2.3 inches mercury has been reached or the run has continued for 300 seconds. Since, with most fuels, this pressure drop is reached in l to 4'minutes, 300 seconds is the usual maximum time for a'run.
- An effective carburetor antiicing fuel additive is judged on basis of comparison with a blank (base fuel), since the level of numbers from this test tend to vary somewhat.

11 Claims, N0 Drawi ii gs MOTOR FUEL COMPOSITION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention Modern internal combustion engine design is undergoing important changes to meet new Federal standards concerning engine exhaust gas emissions. A major change in engine design recently adopted is the feeding of blow-by gases from the crankcase zone of the engine into the intake air supply to the carburetor rather than venting these gases to the atmosphere as in the past. A further change being adopted involves the recycling of a part of the exhaust gases to the combustion zone of the engine in order to effect a more complete combustion and to further reduce objectionable exhaust emissions. The recycled exhaust gases contain substantial amounts of deposit-forming substances which promote the formation of deposits in and around the throttle plate area of the carburetor. These deposits have the effect of restricting the flow of air through the carburetor at idle and at low speeds so that an overrich fuel mixture results. This condition produces rough engine idling and stalling, and serves to increase the harmful exhaust emissions which the engine design changes were intended to overcome.
Modern gasoline compositions are very highly refined products. Despite this, they contain minor amounts of impurities which can promote corrosion during the period that the bulk fuel is transported and stored and also in the fuel tank, fuel lines and carburetor of the motor vehicle. An acceptable motor fuel must contain an effective and compatible inhibitor to inhibit or prevent corrosion during transport and prior to its use in the engine.

US. Pat. No. 3,704,107 discloses a jet fuel composition containing a bis-(hydroxyalkyl) alkyl phosphonate as an antiwear additive.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A class of alkylammonium alkyl alkanephosphonates are provided as carburetor anti-icing agents and corrosion inhibitors when employed in a liquid hydrocarbon fuel for an internal combustion engine. These compounds, which are characterized by having two relatively long hydrocarbon radicals, including one attached to a phosphorus atom and one attached to a nitrogen atom, appear to be unique in their carburetor anti-icing and corrosion inhibiting properties. Similar compounds were found to be ineffective for providing a fuel composition having the properties of the composition of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The alkylammonium alkyl alkanephosphonate additive component of the fuel composition of the invention is represented by the formula:
in which R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from about 8 to 22 carbon atoms, R is a lower aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 2 carbon atoms, R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms or an aminoalkyl group of the structure NH (CH or N-alkylaminoalkyl group of the structure R -NH-(CH where R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical from 8 to 20 carbon atoms and n is an integer from 2 to 6, and R and R are either one or both, hydrogen atoms or aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
A preferred alkylammonium alkyl alkanephosphate is one conforming to the above formula in which R and R aliphatic-hydrocarbon radical having from 10 to 18 carbon atoms.
The prescribed alkylammonium alkyl alkanephosphonate is a known material. It can be prepared by reacting an alkanephosphonate diester with an amine according to the following formula:
in which R, R, R R and R have the values noted above. This is a straightforward non-catalytic reaction and can be conducted at a moderately elevated temperature over a short reaction period. A temperature substantially greater than C., e.g. 130C. is preferred while greater than 150C. would usually be un necessary. Reaction times of 25 hours are normally employed, although shorter times, e.g. 15 minutes to 1 hours, are often sufficient. An inert, nonpolar solvent such as a hydrocarbon, can be employed to facilitate the reaction. The amine reactant may be used in substantial excess, e.g. from 1 to 2 moles of amine per mole of the alkanephosphonate diester, without changing the reaction as more fully set forth in US. Pat. No. 3,793,199.

The prescribed alkyl ammonium alkyl alkanephosphonate of the invention is employed in the gasoline fuel composition in a concentration to provide both effective carburetor detergency and corrosion inhibiting properties. In general, an effective concentration of the additive ranges from about 0.0005 to 0.l weight percent with a preferred concentration ranging from about 0.002 to 0.075 weight percent. The limits of the preferred range corresponded respectively to about 2 and 200 PTB (pounds of additive per 1000 barrels of gasoline).
Any gasoline suitable for a spark-ignited, internal combustion engine can be used in the practice of this invention. In general, the base fuel will consist ofa mixture of hydrocarbons in the gasoline boiling range, i.e. boiling from about 75 to 450F. The hydrocarbon components can consist of paraffinic, naphthenic, aromatic and olefinic hydrocarbons. This gasoline can be obtained naturally or it can be produced by thermal or catalytic cracking and/or reforming of petroleum hydrocarbons. The base fuel will generally have a Research Octane Number above 80 and up to about 102 with the preferred range being from about 85 to 100.
The prescribed alkyl ammonium alkyl alkanephosphonate additive of the invention was tested for its effectiveness in gasoline in the Colonial Pipeline Rust Test and the Carburetor Icing Test described below:
COLONIAL PIPELINE RUST TEST A steel spindle, 3 3/16 inches long and one half inch pump equipped so that cool moisture-saturated air from an ice tower is drawn through a sample glass tube gasoline carburetor. The gasoline sample is placed in a sample bottle and is drawn into the glass carburetor through a 20 gage hypodermic needle. Evaporation of the gasoline in the gas tube further cools the cold moist air with resulting ice formation on the throttle plate. The formation of ice on the throttle plate causes an engine to stall and it has been found that this condition is equivalent to a pressure drop across the throttle plate of about 0.9 inches of mercury and the time required to reach this pressure drop is noted. The vacuum pump is adjusted to give a vacuum of 1.8 inches of mercury and the test is run until either a pressure of 2.3 inches mercury has been reached or the run has continued for 300 seconds. Since, with most fuels, this pressure drop is reached in l to 4'minutes, 300 seconds is the usual maximum time for a'run. An effective carburetor antiicing fuel additive is judged on basis of comparison with a blank (base fuel), since the level of numbers from this test tend to vary somewhat.
The Base Fuel employed in the following examples was a premium grade gasoline having a Research Octane Number of about 100 and containing C. of tetraethyl lead pef gallon. This gasoline consisted of about 25 percent aromatic hydrocarbons, l0 percent olefinic hydrocarbons and 65 percent paraffinic hydrocarbons and boiled in the range from about 90F. to 380F.

CARBURETOR ICING TEST The anti-icing properties of the additive-containing fuel of the invention were determined in the carburetor icing demonstrator apparatus consisting of a vacuum It is evident from the foregoing data that the novel fuel composition of the invention illustrated by Runs 6 through 11 is outstandingly effective in its carburetor anti-icing and corrosion inhibiting properties. In contrast, related type products exhibited by Runs 2 through 5 inclusive are ineffective in both tests.
The fuels of the invention may contain any additive conventionally employed in gasoline. Tetraalkyl lead, antiknock additives, dyes, anti-oxidants and the like can be beneficially employed without materially affecting the corrosion inhibiting and detergent additive of the invention.
