Abstract

Novel soybean/terpene based fuel compositions and fuel additives are disclosed and claimed herein.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An engine fuel composition comprising a soybean oil compound, a terpene, and conventional petroleum based or diesel fuel. 
     
     
         2 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 1 , further including ethanol. 
     
     
         3 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 1 , wherein said terpene is limonene and said soybean oil compound is an esterified soybean oil. 
     
     
         4 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 3 , wherein said esterified soybean oil compound is the methyl ester of soybean oil. 
     
     
         5 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 3 , further including a naphtha product. 
     
     
         6 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 3 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.5% v/v to about 10% v/v of said limonene, from about 2% v/v to about 15% v/v of said soybean oil, and from about 80% to about 94% of said petroleum based or diesel fuel. 
     
     
         7 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 6 , further including from about 1% v/v to about 15% v/v of a naphtha compound. 
     
     
         8 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 6 , further including an anti-oxidant. 
     
     
         9 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 2 , where said composition comprises from about 0.5% v/v to about 10% v/v limonene, from about 2% v/v to about 15% v/v of said soybean oil, from about 5% v/v to about 85% of said ethanol, and from about 10% v/v to about 95% v/v petroleum based or diesel fuel. 
     
     
         10 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 9 , further including from about 1% v/v to about 15% v/v of a naphtha compound. 
     
     
         11 . A method for igniting an engine, said method comprising (a) adding the fuel composition of  claim 1  to an engine and (b) igniting said engine. 
     
     
         12 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 11 , further including ethanol. 
     
     
         13 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 11 , wherein said terpene is limonene and said soybean oil compound is an esterified soybean oil. 
     
     
         14 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 13 , wherein said esterified soybean oil compound is the methyl ester of soybean oil. 
     
     
         15 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 13 , further including a naphtha product. 
     
     
         16 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 13 , wherein said composition comprises from about 0.5% v/v to about 10% v/v of said limonene, from about 2% v/v to about 15% v/v of said soybean oil, and from about 80% to about 94% of said petroleum based or diesel fuel. 
     
     
         17 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 16 , further including from about 1% v/v to about 15% v/v of a naphtha compound. 
     
     
         18 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 16 , further including an anti-oxidant. 
     
     
         19 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 12 , where said composition comprises from about 0.5% v/v to about 10% v/v limonene, from about 2% v/v to about 15% v/v of said soybean oil, from about 5% v/v to about 85% of said ethanol, and from about 10% v/v to about 95% v/v petroleum based or diesel fuel. 
     
     
         20 . The engine fuel composition of  claim 19 , further including from about 1% v/v to about 15% v/v of a naphtha compound.
