STANDARDS FOR GASOLINE.

Following a series Of. investigations
conducted by C. c. Hinkley, chief en-
gineer Of the Chalmers Motor Co.,
and ]. C. McCabe, Detroit, city en-
gineer, the city Of Detroit has adopt
ed set of standards for gasoline
which must be strictly observed by all
dealers in the city.
Designated as Detroit City Stan
dard," the new type Of gasoline is de-
fined as liquid hydro-carbon obtain
ed by straight distillation or by the
cracking process and having a boiling
temperature not exceeding $50 de-
grees Fahrenheit. It must distill
at least 20 per cent. at 220 degrees
Fahrenheit and SO per cent under
800 degrees Fahrenheit when tested
by the distillation test provided for
in the ordinance.
Any mixture OF gasoline and kero-
sene which does not measure up to
this test must be labeled Mixed G.
K'' and sold as mixture of the two
oils. Signs designating the quality
Of the gasoline rust be plainly dis
played on the pump from which the
liquid is drawn SO that the customer
knows which type he is paying for.
with the constantly decreasing
quality of the gasoline being sold on
our city streets today, we decided it
was time to stage campaign of edu.
cation for the benefit of motor car
users" said Mr.. Hinkley. discussing
the new ordinance. For test purposes
we purchased samples Of gasoline at
different stations around Detroit and
tested it for kerosene. We found
that from 8 to % per cent. of the
liquid was kerosene. The big oil
companies blame the various de.iers
for the adulteration and have q. nd
the Detroit City Standard as a meth
cd Of protecting the public from an
inferior product.
I'VE are sending the Detroit fornlu-
la to other cities and are endeavor-
ing to start q nationwide campaign
which will materially improve the OPP
Grafton of cars for hundreds OF thous-
ands of automobile owners.

sideration, and last but not least, the
