Assignee:

Bloom & Kreten - Baltimore MD

International Classification:

C10L 118

US Classification:

44300

Abstract:

An emergency alternative fuel for internal combustion engines is stable for storage for a year or more. The alternative fuel is stored in a container which has an outlet sealed with a removable seal. The container is prevented from being reused for storage after the seal is removed. The fuel is a refined mineral spirits and may have 0-30% by volume mixed isomers of primary amyl alcohol blended therewith. A biocide is added to the mineral spirits.

US Classification:

44300

Abstract:

An emergency fuel for internal combustion engines is stable for storage for a year or more. The emergency fuel is stored in a container which has an outlet sealed with a removable seal. The container is prevented from being reused for storage after the seal is removed. The fuel is a mixture of two fractions of refined mineral spirits, one fraction being 58-50% by weight and having 0% aromatics, the other fraction being 42-50% by weight and having 100% aromatics. A biocide is added to the mineral spirits.

Appl. No.:

9/313931

Inventors:

William A. Hubbard - Timonium MD

International Classification:

F02B 3304

US Classification:

12317921

Abstract:

A method of using a petroleum based fuel in an internal combustion gasoline engine. The fuel has a flash point of at least 100. degree. F. and the fuel is heated, within the engine, to a temperature above 100. degree. F. The heated fuel is introduced into the cylinders in the engine and ignited within the cylinder to start the engine. The heat source is removed after the engine has become warm. In an alternate embodiment, the electrodes of the spark plugs are continually energized until the electrodes are at a temperature above the flashpoint of the fuel. The electrodes of the spark plugs are then energized intermittently and the fuel is introduced into the heated cylinders to ignite the fuel in the cylinders in a selected sequence.

International Classification:

B62D 4300

US Classification:

224 4213

Abstract:

The combination of a container having an emergency fuel therein for an internal combustion engine. The container is disposed in a trunk of a vehicle or in a storage compartment on a boat. A handle is formed on a body of the container. A closable outlet is formed on the body. A spout is adapted to be connected to the closable outlet. The container is manually releasably retained in the trunk of the vehicle. Also a method is disclosed of safely storing a stable emergency fuel in the trunk of a vehicle or in a storage compartment on a boat.

Inventors:

Reginald N. Spencer - Baltimore MD
William A. Hubbard - Timonium MD

International Classification:

C10L 116

US Classification:

44300

Abstract:

A method for using emergency fuel for internal combustion engines which is stable for storage for a year or more. The fuel is a mixture of two fractions of refined mineral spirits, one fraction being aliphatic hydrocarbons, the other fraction being aromatic hydrocarbons. Varying the relative content of the aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon mineral spirits provides a fuel with the desired octane number. A biocide is added to the mineral spirits.
