Abstract

A fuel composition comprising a major amount of hydrocarbons boiling in the gasoline or diesel range and about 2,050 to about 10,000 parts per million by weight of a hydrocarbyl-substituted polyoxyalkylene amine having the formula: ##STR1## or a fuel-soluble salt thereof; PA1 wherein R is a hydrocarbyl group having from about 1 to about 30 carbon atoms; PA1 R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently hydrogen or lower alkyl having about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and each R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is independently selected in each --O--CHR.sub.1 --CHR.sub.2 -- unit; PA1 A is amino, N-alkyl amino having about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, N,N-dialkyl amino having about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms in each alkyl group, or a polyamine moiety having about 2 to about 12 amine nitrogen atoms and about 2 to about 40 carbon atoms; and PA1 x is an integer from about 5 to about 100. The fuel compositions of the present invention are useful for the prevention and control of engine deposits, particularly combustion chamber deposits.
