- the second step consists in using a fuel with additives for 24 hours while continuing to measure the evolution of the injection time.
- tinj 72 the injection time at the end of the "clean-up" phase.
- the percentage of restoration of the injection time after the clean-up step is calculated according to: (tinj 48 - tinj 72) x 100 / (ti nj 48 - tinj-0).
- the test was carried out by employing in the second step a fuel E consisting of unleaded petrol 98 meeting the EN228 standard, supplemented with a classic multifunctional additive package containing a classic commercial detergency additive consisting of a Mannich base. This detergency additive is present in the gasoline additive composition at a treatment rate of 258 ppm by weight (258 mg / kg).
- gasoline E on the one hand (comparative), then with gasoline E '(invention) which corresponds to gasoline E to which 30 ppm by weight of an additive A was added.
- gasoline E consisting of a mixture of compounds having an alkyl-phenol type structure.
- composition of additive A is as follows:
- BHT 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol
- the test was performed with gasoline E immediately after preparation. Then the essences E and E 'were stored for a period of 6 months outside, in a tank subjected to natural climatic variations with variable temperatures in the range going from 5 ° C to 25 ° C, and the test a was repeated with the species E and E 'at the end of this storage period.
- composition E deteriorated after 6 months of storage.
- additive A makes it possible not only to avoid a degradation of the detergency properties, but above all to improve these properties: in fact, after 6 months of storage, the detergent performance of composition E 'no only are greater than those of composition E, but in addition they are greater than that of the initial composition E before storage.
