Kissel Truck Makes Long
Trip on Cheap Fuel

Twenty-four hours and forty
minutes was the wonderfully fast
time Of loaded l5OO-pound ks
sci kar truck in run made last
month from Los Angeles to San
Francisco. This excels the best
previous record over the same course
by. more than SIX hours and is con-
sidered a most remarkable achieve
ment in every way. The car,
stock truck with no special equip
ment save carbureter designed to
burn grade fuel, was driven BY
O. W. Kern. Of the Pacific kissel
Kar branch. and was loaded with
a consignment Of oil to be delivered
to San Francisco firm. The dis
tance travelled was Az miles. The
starting time was sos D. M, the
finishing 8:45 o'clock the following
evening.
One aspect Of this trip that will
interest truck owners throughout the
United States was the successful
use Of oil toppings' for fuel. oil
toppings' : is one Of the very lowest
grades Of fuel. Its usually drained
from the refining tanks and either
thrown away Or burned in furnaces.
Its marketprice in California is three
cents gallon. With the use Of
specially constructed carbureter this
fuel was used with complete success.
The amount consumed on the trip
was 46 IL gallons costing less than
S1.40.' Two tire punctures Was
the sum total Of the troubles encoun-
tered on the trip.
