Claims
- 1. A fuel composition which comprises a liquid hydrocarbon fuel, a silicone oil and an organic titanium compound, wherein the organic titanium compound is present in the fuel in an amount of 50-150% by volume, based on the volume of the silicone oil.
- 2. A fuel composition as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a lubricating oil.
- 3. A fuel composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the silicone oil is a dimethyl silicone.
- 4. A fuel composition as claimed in claim 3 wherein the silicone oil is a half and half mixture of a dimethyl silicone fluid, having a nominal viscosity of 300 centi-stokes at 25.degree. C. and a dimethyl silicone fluid having a nominal viscosity of 50 centistokes at 25.degree. C.
- 5. A fuel composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organic titanium compound is a compound selected from the group consisting of a compound which is soluble in the fuel composition and a compound which can be held in suspension in the fuel composition.
- 6. A fuel composition as claimed in claim 5 wherein the organic titanium compound is selected from the group consisting of octylene glycol titanate, butyl titanate, polybutyl titanate, tetramonyl titanate and tetra iso-octyl titanate.
- 7. A fuel composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the silicone oil is present in an amount of from 0.0% to 1.5% by volume of the fuel.
