[0001] FUEL-SAVING ADDITIVE FOR GASOLINE AND DIESEL VEHICLES

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to an additive that provides 23% fuel savings in gasoline and diesel powered vehicles such as cars, trucks, lorries, ships and motorcycles.

[0004] BACKGROUND ART

[0005] Fuel additives work with the regular fuel you put in your tank. They function by, as the name suggests, adding substances, such as system cleaners, lubricants and performance enhancers, to the fuel to achieve a specific goal. You won't find anywhere else what a professionally-formulated fuel treatment does.

[0006] People typically use additives in small quantities, and they are cheaper than changing the fuel itself. Modifications to an entire engine are obviously much more expensive, and additives can help drivers avoid them by addressing a specific problem or by assisting with preventive maintenance. Using a fuel additive can solve problems on an engine without breaking the bank or the parts. Additives work on issues related to the movement of gasoline or the system it flows through. Cleaning agents, for instance, might be mixed with fuel to remove heavy deposits, reducing friction and improving flow. Individual components such as injectors and valves need to be free of deposits to function optimally. Cleaning out the system can put a stop to sluggish responses and hard starts, among other issues. Lubricants work similarly, helping parts to move better and more efficiently. Other tasks that a fuel additive can undertake include preventing gas freezing and fuel degradation over time, potentially adding performance-boosting octane.

[0007] There are a variety of different types of fuel additives, including those meant for off-road and marine usage that may not be legal for use on the streets. Others might be intended for specific environments, such as in cold weather or high- moisture areas. Most fuel additives, however, are developed for an everyday car that might need a little something extra to get it working efficiently.

[0008] The benefits of fuel additives vary widely. They could be performance enhancers or fuel stabilizers. Fuel performance enhancers improve the functioning of your fuel. They may do so by cleaning a system and preventing deposit for the future. Fuel stabilizers keep the fuel intact, preventing adverse long-term effects, such as solidification and corrosion.

[0009] Before the 1970s, high-octane tetraethyl lead was used as an additive in gasoline. Of course, this practice ended when the health hazards of lead became known. Some people, whether it makes sense or not, still look for high-octane fuel to put in their cars. High octane gasoline is often associated with high power as it can increase the compression ratio. When the compression ratio is higher, there is more air in the engine's cylinders. This creates a more powerful explosion when ignited. Octane levels reflect how much the air-fuel mixture can compress before ignition.

[0010] Engines are typically designed to run on fuel with specific octane levels. Low octane levels can cause the fuel to ignite under pressure. The shock wave from this pressurized ignition is almost simultaneously met by a similar shock wave from the spark plug ignition. This process can cause knocking noise and make your engine less efficient. Using ethanol is a way for refineries / purifiers to increase octane levels in the gas.

[0011] If your engine does not make this knocking noise, you probably do not need an octane booster. Some older cars using high compression engines will benefit from octane boosters. Other vehicles that may require higher octane fuel include premium sports and luxury cars. Octane boosters may also contain lubricants for the cast iron valve seats on these older models. Lubricants / glidants can help to reduce wear on these components so that they cool the engine more efficiently. In a diesel engine, you can increase the power in a similar but opposite way. A higher cetane level causes quicker ignition and better fuel usage. A short delay between the fuel injection and ignition is a sign of high cetane levels. A long delay, a sign of low cetane levels, can lead to incomplete combustion, significant noise and more emissions. With gasoline, a high octane level allows the engine to ignite more slowly, while with diesel a high cetane level allows the engine to ignite more quickly. Different types of vehicles have different optimal levels of cetane. Few areas in America offer the cetane level required for most vehicles, so an additive may bring the fuel up to par and increase the efficiency of an engine.

[0012] In especially cold weather, it is not uncommon for condensation to build up in fuel tanks, freezing up the line. Using this additive can prevent freezing by using an alcohol base. Others use water dispersants that absorb water in the fuel and direct it to the engine, where it safely evaporates into steam that leaves through the exhaust. Ethanol accomplishes some of the goals of gas-line antifreeze, so if you’re using ethanol gas, you probably have some amount of freezing prevention already. An additive may be more beneficial for vehicles using gasoline without any added ethanol, particularly diesel. It’s most useful when temperatures jump between freezing and thawing. If this cycle occurs frequently, fuel line antifreeze should help prevent the fuel from condensing and freezing.

[0013] The fuel injector in your car uses electronic controls to spray fuel into the engine, creating just the right mixture of air and fuel for optimal combustion. Pressurized fuel is pushed through the injector nozzle and sprayed out the other end of the injector as an atomized mist, so it combusts more easily. When this injector gets clogged, it can create problem for the entire fuel combustion process. Your engine may begin to stutter, misfire or stall, even during idling. Overall performance may also decline, resulting in less engine power or slower acceleration. Such problems can be especially common in cold weather.

[0014] A proper fuel additive will help to keep this system clog-free, so you don’t run into performance problems on the road. Some additives are for preventative maintenance, while others are a little stronger and can remove existing deposits, which are made of carbon that develops from the combustion process. In general, additives can significantly reduce the deposits on intake valves across a variety of fuel types. They can also reduce hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.

[0015] Diesel fuel can have a tough time with cold weather, which causes paraffin wax particles to crystallize in the fuel and clog lines and filters. Cold weather can impede on engine performance, possibly even preventing your engine from starting at all. This problem can lead to major repairs if not addressed. The fuel combustion process is time-sensitive and depends on proper angles, flow and dispersion. To prevent gelling, these types of additives help to lower the freezing point of the fuel. They are better used before the cold weather hits, but they can still be added as they do not damage your engine. Many diesel vehicles also use heated fuel lines, but these don’t prevent hard-starting like an additive would.

[0016] Fuel-saving additives are chemical substances that help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of fuel. These additives are designed to improve fuel combustion, reduce contaminants in the fuel and allow fuel to circulate more efficiently through the engine. The content of fuel-saving additives may vary depending on the manufacturer. However, they usually contain one or more of the following substances:

[0017] • Octane boosters: Octane boosters are used to make the combustion of gasoline more efficient. This helps the engine to support higher compression ratios and produce more power. Octane boosters are usually composed of aromatic hydrocarbons or alcohols.

[0018] • Cetane boosters: Cetane boosters are used to make the combustion of diesel fuel more efficient. This helps the engine to produce more power and perform better. Cetane boosters are usually composed of aromatic hydrocarbons or alcohols.

[0019] • Fuel cleaners: Fuel cleaners are used to remove contaminants from the fuel. This helps the fuel to burn more efficiently and the engine to perform better. Fuel cleaners usually consist of various organic solvents and detergents.

[0020] • Lubricants: Lubricants are used to protect engine parts as fuel circulates through them. This helps the engine to run more efficiently and last longer. Lubricants are usually composed of various lubricants.

[0021] The effect of fuel-saving additives on fuel saving can vary depending on various factors. These factors include the type of vehicle, age and condition of the engine, driving style and weather conditions. In general, fuel-saving additives can achieve fuel savings of between 2% and 5%. In the known state of the art, there is no documented evidence of fuel savings in excess of these rates.

[0022] The use of fuel saving additives can help to reduce fuel costs and reduce environmental impact. However, it should be noted that these additives are not always effective and in some cases can negatively affect the performance of the engine.

[0023] In the known state of the art, the invention titled "Fuel Additive" with the publication number WO2011083419A1 is summarized as follows: "This invention relates to a fuel additive containing a mixture of isoalkanes in liquid and synthetic motor oil to reduce the emission of harmful substances into the engine fuel of gasoline or diesel fueled engines."

[0024] In the known state of the art, the invention titled "“Fuel Supplement To Reduce Harmful Emissions" with the publication number W02018011819A1 is summarized as follows: “The present invention relates to a Fuel Supplement comprising a blend of selected vegetable oils in certain proportions, which can reduce harmful emissions during combustion of the fuel when added to fuels such as gasoline and diesel. It can significantly reduce the Sulphur content in fuels and thus protect the environment from harmful contaminants. It improves fuel lubricity and engine performance. It also increases the flash point of diesel.” In the known state of the art, the invention titled “Composition for reducing emissions, carbon deposits and fuel consumption” with the publication number US11203727B2 is summarized as follows: “A composition is described. The composition is useful for reducing emissions, carbon deposits and fuel consumption when burning liquid hydrocarbon fuels. The composition comprises: 80-90% by weight of ferrocene; and one or more components selected from the group consisting of behenyl alcohol, hydrogenated cottonseed oil and magnesium stearate, each of the components (if any) being present in the composition in an amount of up to 10% by weight. Usually at least behenyl alcohol is present, as well as at least one of hydrogenated cottonseed oil and magnesium stearate. The composition can be prepared in the form of granular material which can then be applied as such or converted into another form (e.g. tablets, solutions, etc.). An additive for liquid hydrocarbon fuels is also disclosed.”

[0025] As a result, due to the above-mentioned problems and the inadequacy of the current use, it is necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field. Therefore, an invention is needed to overcome these problems.
