THROWS LIGHT ON
CARBON DEPOSITS

''If the amount of air entering the
carburetor is not sufficient to insure
complete combustion, we have what is
known as a rich MIXTURE" says bull
letin on carbon deposit and its causes,
issued by the Standard Oil Company.
"This is a slow-burning mixture rather
than an explosive one and will cause
excessive carbon deposit.
''For example, if the wick of an oil
burning lamp is turned too high, too
much oil will be $iphoned through the
wick for the amount of air entering
the lamp to form complete combustion.
The lamp will smoke, and SCOT, which
is carbon, will be deposited on the
chimney.
"This is eaxctly what happens in the
cylinders of a gas engine. The prod
ucts of incomplete combustion of the
gasoline deposit certain amount of
carbon in the combustion chamber.
This carbon deposit will build up very
much more quickly If it has bed to
build up on. such as would be produced
by lubricating oil which when exposed
to the heat of explosion would leave a
gummy deposit.
Lieut., G. S. Bryan, U. S. N, has
ably and correctly pointed out in his
article on Motor Cylinder fabrication
that lubricating oils manufactured from
paraffine base crudes deposit more car
bon than lubricating oils manufactured
from asphaltic base crudse. The rea-
son for this is that paraffine base crudes
contain paraffine wax. which cannot be
entirely eliminated from the manuac-
tured product"
