(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to a diesel fuel composition containing an additive composition made by mixing at least two components: a) at least one of from about 8 to about 500 carbon atoms Dicarboxylic acid or a reactive equivalent thereof; and b) at least one amine having from about 6 to about 80 carbon atoms. In one embodiment, the additive composition also contains: c) at least one monocarboxylic acid having from about 8 to about 28 carbon atoms or a reactive equivalent thereof. This additive composition is useful as a lubricating additive for diesel fuels, especially low sulfur diesel fuels, and provides diesel fuels with excellent storage stability, anti-rust performance and anti-wear performance. |
