A process for reducing the metal corrosion of a hydrocarbonaceous liquid
which causes corrosion as measured by NACE Standard TM0172-2001, said
process comprising blending with the hydrocarbonaceous liquid at least
0.1 weight percent of an acidic Fischer-Tropsch product in sufficient
proportion to produce a hydrocarbonaceous blend displaying reduced metal
corrosion as measured by NACE Standard TM0172-2001 when compared to the
hydrocarbonaceous liquid and a hydrocarbonaceous blend prepared by the
process.
