DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF GUM PREVENTIVE GASOLINE
Abstract
The object of this investigation is to develop an improved gum preventive compound with emphasis on ability to stabilize gasoline in small power units during short storage periods, and in vehicle fuel tanks during standby storage. Optimum amounts of ratio of antioxidant to metal deactivator were determined. The resultant improved formulation was added to combat gasoline and regular motor fuel to determine it stabilizing ability. The stability of the improved formulation in various types of containers was also determined. The improved gum preventive compound stabilized the various uncontaminated and copper contaminated gasolines at high undiminished levels up to five months. Comparison of the inhibiting abilityum preventive compound and ratio of antioxidant to metal deactivator were determined. The resultant improved formulation was added to combat gasoline and regular motor fuel to determine it stabilizing ability. The stability of the improved formulation in various types of containers was also determined. The improved gum preventive compound stabilized the various uncontaminated and copper contaminated gasolines at high undiminished levels up to five months. Comparison of the inhibiting ability of a freshly made gum preventive compound and one stored for four months at an elevated temperature showed that the inhibiting ability of the stored compound remained unchanged and that it effectively stabilized the fuel.
