Abstract

An additive for hydrocarbon fuels such as propane, comprising active components including a hydrocarbon mixture in the range of approximately 60% to 76% by volume, and hydrotreated distillates in the range of approximately 10% to 16% by volume.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An additive for hydrocarbon fuels, comprising: 
 active components including: 
 a hydrocarbon mixture in the range of approximately 60% to 76% by volume;  
 hydrotreated distillates in the range of approximately 10% to 16% by volume;  
 at least one predetermined vapor phase inhibitor; and  
 at least one predetermined surfactant.  
   
     
     
         2 . The additive of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 said active components also include petroleum amines.    
     
     
         3 . The additive of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 said active components also include at least one aromatic hydrocarbon.    
     
     
         4 . The additive of  claim 2 , wherein: 
 said active components also include at least one aromatic hydrocarbon.    
     
     
         5 . The additive of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 said active components include a blend of vapor phase inhibitors.    
     
     
         6 . The additive of  claim 2 , wherein: 
 said active components include a blend of vapor phase inhibitors.    
     
     
         7 . The additive of  claim 3 , wherein: 
 said active components include a blend of vapor phase inhibitors.    
     
     
         8 . The additive of  claim 4 , wherein: 
 said active components include a blend of vapor phase inhibitors.    
     
     
         9 . The additive of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         10 . The additive of  claim 2 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         11 . The additive of  claim 3 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         12 . The additive of  claim 4 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         13 . The additive of  claim 5 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         14 . The additive of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         15 . The additive of  claim 7 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         16 . The additive of  claim 8 , wherein: 
 said active components include anionic and ionic surfactants.    
     
     
         17 . The additive of  claim 2 , wherein: 
 said petroleum amines are included in the range of approximately 5% to 8% by volume.    
     
     
         18 . The additive of  claim 4 , wherein: 
 said petroleum amines are included in the range of approximately 5% to 8% by volume.    
     
     
         19 . The additive of  claim 6 , wherein: 
 said petroleum amines are included in the range of approximately 5% to 8% by volume.    
     
     
         20 . The additive of  claim 8 , wherein: 
 said petroleum amines are included in the range of approximately 5% to 8% by volume.
