Fuel additive comprising an alkyl halide

Abstract

A method including using an alkyl halide, such as but not limited to, tetrabromoethane, as a fuel additive to a fuel to increase completeness of combustion of the fuel.

1 . A method comprising: 
 using an alkyl halide as a fuel additive to a fuel to increase completeness of combustion of the fuel.    
   
   
       2 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising using the alkyl halide to increase cleanliness of a combustion chamber in which the fuel undergoes combustion.  
   
   
       3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said alkyl halide comprises tetrabromoethane.
