New Oil Enalre.

A new oil engine is the recent and

to the use of crude oils or oils of
specific gravity that precludes their
use in motors of the ordinary type.
Like all engines suitable for crude oil
the latest innovation has f-uy!sion
for the injection of water into .he syl-
inder before compression. This has
the effect of allowing a much higher
compression without preignition than

important effects. The builders say
that the water vapor prevents the de-
composition of the petroleum to an
extent. enabling the engine 20 rrl
long periods with crude oils without
leaving an excess of deposit on thp
vaporizer's walls. 1t is not easy to
understand why water should prevent
decomposition of the petroleum. The
engine works on the four stroke cycle
and uses the heavy black petroleum
ellis and the semireined. or inter

fined lamp oil. There is cylinder
fourteen inches in diameter. giving
forty seven brake horse power with
horse power with crude oils. On the
suction stroke of the piston air is
drawn into the cylinder through the
main air valve, and oil is pumped
through the oil sprayer into the va
porizer. which receives further sup
ply of air through shifting valve. At
the same time water Is pumped
through the water sprayer and enters
the vaporizer. This charge is then
compressed. and, as the crank of the
engine passes the inner dead center
is ignited by the hot igniting tube.
