"The types of hydrocarbons found in gasoline have great influence on the formation of gum (nonvolatile, insoluble, adhesive resin that forms sediments within fuel systems of an engine). In this study, the synthetic compound P-naphthol has been used in order to generate novel antioxidative substances: AO1 [6-N-ethyl,N-ethylamino)beta-naphthol], AO2 [6-N-ethyl,N-diethylamino)-beta-naphthol] and AO3 [mixture of amino-beta-naphthol and 1,6-di-amino-beta-naphthol]," researchers in Salvador, Brazil report.
"The derived compounds were subjected to accelerated oxidative stability assays [potential gum (PC) and induction period (IP)] and to storage assays [washed gum ...
