Storage tests are described in which fuel oil samples containing a small amount of added nitrogen compound were stored at 37.8/sup 0/c (100/sup 0/F) for periods up to 10 months, followed by determination of the amount of gum formed. Addition of 2,5-dimethylpyrrole greatly increased the quantity of insoluble gum formed compared to the amount formed in additive-free oil. Pyrrole and indole also increased the formation of insoluble gum, although much less than 2,5-dimethylpyrrole. Isoquinoline and 2-amino-pyridine caused a slight increase in gum formation, while quinoline, lutidine, and N-ethylcarbazole had no effect on gum formation.
