FUEL COST |SB|G ITEM IN TRUCK OPERATION;
LARGER EMANCIPATION Of PASSENGER CAR

Fuel cost is big item in truck op-
eration-a bigger item by far than 1t
Is in the operation of passenger car.
In spite of which the problem of pro-
ducing economical operation has re-
ceived much more attention as regards
the passenger vehicle than it has with
the truck. For passenger cars there
are devices which show an appreciate
saving is the use of gasoline but these
devices have no counterpart for trucks
of any sort. At the outset let it be
said with all emphasis that there are
means directly at hand whereby any
motor truck of any type or capacity
may be made to use either Kerosene
or at least a mixture of kerosene and
gasoline, and at the same time give
greater mileage than was had with or
binary gasoline. And with this econ
omy there will be little, If any, inter
ference with ordinary running, and
there will be probably an increase in
power.
The very lowest fuel cost per ton
mile is reached, of course, when the
driving of the truck is properly done,
when the idling periods are cut to the
lowest limit when the most is got out
of the mechanism by proper carburetor
adjustment and efficient functioning of
The ignition and other systems, at the
same time that the cheapest fuel is
used. A poor driver with badly con-
ditionad truck might raise the fuel
cost on kerosene above the figure that
skilled man could run on gasoline

If there was any object that tended to
obstruct your vision, be sure to indi-
cate it.
With evidence of this kind gathered
at the time of the accident, the car
owner can present his best case.
whereas, If everything is left to mem
DRY unprompted and the assembling
Of witnesses is left until days after the
accident, the defendant will find him
self at great disadvantage.
The question of whether it Is best
to let the case go to the jury or make
a settlement out of court will generally
be left to the lawyer to decide. How
ever, the car owner should remember
that he will practically always have
the sympathy of the jury against him.

REASON GASOLINE
IS BELOW STANDARD
Need for Aviation Gasoline
Trouble; Aviation Gas Must
Vaporize Rapidly and Regular
Gasoline Was Sacrificed to
Get Volatile Fuel

Every oil company had more or
less difficulty with gasoline during
the last few months of 1918 and some
complaint was heard among motorists.
1t was impossible, however, until now
to explain that the need for aviation
gasoline was the cause of the trouble.
1t was a military fact which could not
be made public until now.
Aviation gasoline must be highly
volatile, or in other words, 1t must
vaporize rapidly. This highly vola-
tile fuel was furnished only at the
sacrifice of the gasoline left for regu-
lar use. Every gasoline is made up
of constituents having a series Of boil
ing points ranging from low to high.
That needed for airplanes took a large
part of the low boiling points from the
crude oil and left the ordinary motor
gasoline somewhat lacking in these low
boiling points, which are necessary
for easy starting. The need for avia-
ton gasoline is no longer urgent and
consequently Immediately after the
armistice was signed gasoline regained
it's old high quality.

GOVERNMENT TESTS
NEW LIBERTY FUEL
Reported Satisfactory in Every
Respect as Gasoline Substi-
tute-Greater Power at a
Lower Cost.

With the passing of the censorship
governing publication of facts pertain
ing to certain war activities, comes de-
tailed information relative to tests of
Liberty fuel conducted by the war de-
partment and bureau of standards.
As result of these tests, the new
fuel is reported to be satisfactory in
every respect az a substitute for gaso-
line. The cost of manufacture is said
to be 40 per cent lower than the cost
of gasoline, while the power produced
is greater.
The manufacture of the new fuel
involves still process. The ingredi-
ents used are described as commodities
which are now a drug on the market,
These can be obtained in sufficient
quantities to assure an ample supply of
the gasoline substitute.
The formula is a secret held by the
inventor and the war department
Liberty fuel is described as being
scentless tasteless and without gasifi-
cation odor. The report states that its
combustibe products produce a cooler
effect than gasoline, and that it is
non corrosive. 1t does not give out
SCOT or carbon, and starts the motor
more readily than the fuel it is ex-
pected to replace.
The quality and specific gravity of
the new fuel are changeable at will
1t will ignite only from spark or flame
No special apparatus is required either
in the engine or the carbureter to "a
tain the desired results.
Practical tests Of the Liberty fuel
were conducted by army officers, with
the aid of a three and half ton truck,
According to the official report, this
truck, carrying a load, covered dis
lance of 232 miles. The route lay
through q mountainous section.
The journey was made at speed
of from nine to IL miles per hour,
the lower speed being necessary be-
cause of rain.
With gasoline, the truck, under like
conditions, averaged 6.37 miles n gal
lon. 1t used eight and one-half gallons
of water in the radiator and four and
one half quarts of oil, an average OF
$50 miles a quart. The truck easily
negotiated the mountains on Liberty
fuel, the report states

For this reason where a reasonable
settlement can be made out of court
it is at least worthy of serious con-
sideration. OF course, no car owner
involved in an accident serious enough
to bring him into court would be with
out the services Of a lawyer. But we
may point out that for a case involving
any considerable monetary considera
ton, the best obtainable legal assist
ance is by far the cheapest in the end.
There are many small twists and turns,
even in affecting a settlement, that
may make more trouble for the car
owner If they are not properly handled.
Finally, the car owner has it to OBJ
viate all this possible worry and none
tary loss beforehand by the simple ex-
pedient of taking out liability policy.
This will cost in the neighborhood of

RUNNING ON "FLATS"
WILL DEMOLISH TIRES

Running on a flat not only demol-
ishes tires prematurely, but lessons the
owners chances if he appeals to the
tire adjuster with a claim.
When you have a blowout or a tire
cut stop at once and apply a spare tire
OF put in temporary tube patch I'm
der no circumstances run your tire flat.
On running on Debated tire you cause
the side walls Of the tire to withstand
a tremendous strain not intended for
them; the cotton fabric or carcass of
the tire is twisted and distorted; and
during the winter months chunks of
sharp ice and frozen dirt ruts grind
and slash the casing and tube because
Of the dead weight of the car.
The motorist who runs on a flat tire
usually ruins all evidence of what caus-
ed the tire to go bad, and consequently
the tire adjuster is at a loss to tell
whether defects were in the manufac-
ture or whether injuries were respon-
sible for the blowout.

ECONOMY DEVICES.

There must also be considered the
addition of some device which adds
further to the economy, where there is
some condition in the engine which
cannot readily be corrected by ad-
juStment. Ordinarily the use of spe-
cial devices, such as auxiliary air in
lets. mixers, etc. is of little avail, since
their very presence acknowledges a
lack of attention to the engine. OBJ
viously, there must be expected n
waste of fuel when ignition is poor,
when fabrication is faulty because of
an accumulation of water and dirt in
the crankcase because Of infrequent
DRAWINGS and replenishings, when
leaks abound, when there are innumer-
able loses in the power transmitting
members due to slipping clutch, drags
In the transmission, universal or drive
due to lack of proper fabrication. All
of these conditions are directly due TO
the work of poorly trained truck OPP
orator 1t is an axiom among expert
enced truck operators that efficiency
maintained trucks means an efficient
transportation system and the lowest
cost of operation,
Assuming that the very most is got
ten out of the truck by proper care Of
the parts, let us see what can be done
to permit the use of q different fuel
from the conventional gasoline. Kero-
sene, at one-half the cost of gasoline,
Immediately cuts the fuel bill in two,
other things being equal but cuts it
further If the kerosene gives greater
Mileage and more power with better
general performance. The actual car
buretion of kerosene is simply a ques-
ton of the proper use of heat at the

passed on that lonely road, which was

FAULTS DEFINED.

Another fault with poorly designed
kerosene equipment lies in its effect ON
carburetion. Properly carbureted, the
kerosene should leave no greater de-
posit than gasoline, but when the sys-
tenn is not just right the carboniZatlon
periods will be SO frequent as to bring
the cost of carbon removal so hgh
that any saving in the price of fuel is
wiped out. The inefficient kerosene
device also brings about an accumula-
ton of crankcase soup" SO called.
In other words, it throws down
quantity of unburned fuel, which gets
into the crankcase and forms an emul-
sion with the cylinder oil, destroys lu-
IRRIGATION, and wastes money, while 1t
destroys the efficiency of the truck.
Many Of those who have tried Kero-
sene have brought up serious objec-
lions to the. use of water feeders or,
where detachable cylinder head Is
used, to the use of compression plate
to reduce compression. Both or either
of these are used to prevent knocking
of the engine and rapid overheating
Obviously then, an operator should
carefully investigate any kerosene de-
vice before he decides to install it on
his entire fleet. He should try out the
various devices under consideration on
one of his trucks until the results JUS

TO the owner of brand new car
who Is just testing his Wings so to
speak, on the highway it may seem
ghoullsh to talk of what to do in
case an accident happens to his car
or through it. But we all know the
accidents involving motor cars do hap
pen, though in majority of cases the
car owner is not to blame. But no
matter how guiltiess of wrong the mo-
torlst may be, unless he knows what
to do at the time the accident occurs,
knows how TO protect himself, in a
very unpleasant predicament simply
because he has failed to take certain
precautions.
OF course, the thing we all dread
most is doing bodily injury to some
other person. Yet accidents of this
kind occur every day, and in prac-
tically all of them the injured person
has been guilty of at least contribu-
tory negligence. To begin with, the
car owner should try to keep his mind
as calm as possible and note all the
attendant circumstances at the time of
the accident. He should get from any
bystanders their names and addresses
and also those of people in nearby
buildings, provided those persons wit
messed the accident.
If the motorist knows that the fault

KEROSENE FEEDERS.

Today there are on the market more
than so devices which are claimed to
handle kerosene successfully. Many
of them do. But some eXpermenters
along these lines have mado the fatal
error of proving their deyices on but
one type of vehicle, and then assuming
that it was all right for all. The in
Ventor would take Il Ford, let us say,
and do all his experimenting with that
engine, and then simply build a larger
model of his device for, say, a two-ton
truck. This procedure did not always
produce the anticipated results, and
that is why many truck kerosene in
stallations failed utterly. on the other
hand, many trucks are sold today with
carburetors claimed to handle kero-
sene successfully, which they do
proving that it can be done. In fact
it is easy enough, and there is but one
Inconvenience starting. This mast

CINE has cooled down to any degree.
The starting requires the use of an
auxiliary tank holding a few quarts of
gasoline, so that this may be used for n
