A gasoline and diesel fuel additive comprising a mixture of alcohol, toluene, and hydrogen peroxide. The preferred ratio is 16/8/1 of these substances. Also for the purpose of quality control when the additive is to be used with diesel fuel, a few drops of diesel fuel and several drops of glycerin are added to the additive mixture to determine if the proper mixture and blending has been achieved. The process of making this additive includes vigorous agitation of the substances as they are blended together in the order of a predetermined amount of toluene being added to a predetermined quantity of alcohol, and then a chosen amount of hydrogen peroxide being added thereafter. Followed by the vigorous blending of these substances, and then immediate putting of the mixture into suitable containers, and tightly sealing the containers to prevent deterioration of the additive mixture.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel additive for use with both gasoline and diesel fuels which will increase the respective octane and cetane rating thereof without adding any undesirable materials to the fuel which can be harmful to attachments used with the engine, such as catalytic converters in the exhaust system.
Another object of this invention is to provide a fuel additive which will increase the overall effectiveness of said fuel by effecting more complete combustion thereof, provide more power in the engine during utilization of the fuel, and assure a cleaner exhaust emission.
Another further object of this invention is to provide an additive which will when mixed with the proper quantity of fuel absorb and render harmless any moisture or water present in the fuel which otherwise could be detrimental to engine operation.
A still further object of this invention is to provide an additive quite mixable with the fuel for which it is to be used, and which will stay in proper mixture suspension when bottled, and until put to use with a fuel.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a method of preparing a fuel additive which will effect the aforestated objects in the best manner possible.
The fuel additive of subject invention is basically a combination of three substances properly blended together. The substances are toluene, alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide.
By properly mixing these substances together in the manner set forth, an additive is achieved which will substantially increase performance and fuel economy of the average internal combustion engine as presently used on automotive-type vehicles. Also, this additive will substantially increase performance of any type of engine using either #2 diesel fuel or regular or straight-run gasoline.
It is also believed that this additive may be useful with any type device using fuels for heating and combustion such as space heaters, oil burner type furnaces.
Test results have indicated increased highway mileage when the additive of the present invention is used with vehicular engines in normal everyday usage. Tests have indicated an increase in highway mileage of from 10 to 35% when the additive is properly used.
The process disclosed for making the additive is an important part of the invention. It is necessary for producing an additive which will retain the desired properties, and will achieve the desired performance improvement when added to the proper quantity of gasoline or diesel fuel.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout.
