Abstract
Copolymers of straight chain alpha olefins and maleic anhydride esterified with an alcohol wherein the alpha olefin is of the formula: EQU R.CH=CH.sub.2 and the alcohol is of the formula: EQU R.sup.1 OH in which at least one of R and R.sup.1 is greater than 10 and the sum of R and R.sup.1 is from 18 to 38 and R.sup.1 is linear or contains a methyl branch at the 1 or 2 position have been found to be effective additives for improving the low temperature properties of distillate fuels.
