Abstract
A composition suitable for use as a fuel additive is disclosed which comprises at least about 40% by volume of a paraffin which is selected from n-hexane and n-heptane, about 1% to about 20% by volume of aliphatic amine and at least about 5% by volume of cyclic hydrocarbon which has at least five carbon atoms and is liquid at 20.degree. C., said aliphatic amine and cyclohexane having boiling points less than that of said paraffin. The additive improves the combustion process of the fuel such that particulate emission is reduced.
