Fuel additive

Abstract

A fuel additive contains ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), and lecithin. A fuel additive contains 80 to 99 mass % of ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), and 1 to 20 mass % of lecithin, and being in the solid state. A fuel additive contains 78 to 99 mass % of ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), 0.9 to 20 mass % of lecithin and 0.1 to 2 mass % of water, and being in the particle state. A fuel additive containing 2 to 5 mass % of ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), 5 to 50 mass % of lecithin and mineral oil, and being in the liquid state, wherein the ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), and the lecithin are dissolved in the mineral oil. The above-mentioned fuel additive is used by being added into a fuel so as to make the concentration of the ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s) and the lecithin in ranges of 1 to 50 ppm, and 0.01 to 500 ppm, respectively.

1 . A fuel additive containing ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), and lecithin. 
   
   
       2 . The fuel additive according to  claim 1 , containing 80 to 99 mass % of said ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), and 1 to 20 mass % of said lecithin, and being in the solid state. 
   
   
       3 . The fuel additive according to  claim 1 , containing 78 to 99 mass % of said ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), 0.9 to 20 mass % of said lecithin and 0.1 to 2 mass % of water, and being in the particle state. 
   
   
       4 . The fuel additive according to  claim 1 , containing 2 to 5 mass % of said ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), 5 to 50 mass % of said lecithin and mineral oil, and being in the liquid state, wherein the ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s), and the lecithin are dissolved in said mineral oil. 
   
   
       5 . The fuel additive according to  claim 1 , wherein said additive is used by being added into a fuel so as to make the concentration of said ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s) and said lecithin in ranges of 1 to 50 ppm, and 0.01 to 500 ppm, respectively. 
   
   
       6 . The fuel additive according to  claim 2 , wherein said additive is used by being added into a fuel so as to make the concentration of said ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s) and said lecithin in ranges of 1 to 50 ppm, and 0.01 to 500 ppm, respectively. 
   
   
       7 . The fuel additive according to  claim 3 , wherein said additive is used by being added into a fuel so as to make the concentration of said ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s) and said lecithin in ranges of 1 to 50 ppm, and 0.01 to 500 ppm, respectively. 
   
   
       8 . The fuel additive according to  claim 4 , wherein said additive is used by being added into a fuel so as to make the concentration of said ferrocene and/or ferrocene derivative(s) and said lecithin in ranges of 1 to 50 ppm, and 0.01 to 500 ppm, respectively.
