Description Middle distillate components obtained from several Refineries in India and their blends have been studied after doping them with various classes of commercially available additives as well as those synthesized at author's laboratory. It has been observed that sediment and deposit forming tendencies of middle distillates which contain large amounts of cracked components and polyaromatic hydrocarbons are either marginally improved or deleteriously affected by several classes of additives. Polybutene succinimides, marginally improve these characteristics while tertiary alkyl primary amines, hindered phenols and, amines deleteriously affect sediment and deposit forming tendencies. Alkoxy alkyl amino ethers and alkyl amino azoles substantially reduce formations of both sediments and deposits. Sediment and gum forming tendencies of middle distillate f\Jels are markedly improved with 150/400 ppm of succinimides and aminophenols types of additives as measured by IS-1460/1993 method. The Deposit forming tendencies are also only marginally improved as measured on fuel panel coker. Both the sediment and deposit forming tendencies are markedly improved when doped with 300-400 ppm of alkyl amino azoles type of derivatives. It is inferred that a comprehensive assessment of sediment & deposit forming tendencies of middle distillates of different compositions with different additives are needed before recommending any particular set of additive formulations in view of the profound influence of the composition of diesel fuel components and chemical nature of the additives and their interactions with them.
