Why here Is Z. !. !.
Water in Gasoline

Deputy Oil Inspector ]. j. Gross
is distributing bulletins issued by the
oil inspection department Of the |
state which give some valuable in |
formation to car drivers In dealing !
with water in gasoline tanks" the
bulletin says:
Precipitation from frost forming
inside the tanks above the surface
of the oil is resulting in complaints
OF water in gasoline. Naturally these
complaints will he numerous with the
starting of the spring season. If your
auto has been stored for the winter
in cold and damp place, you can
be sure that some frost has been
formed inside the tank during the
winter months and when the frost
thaws the water accumulates at the
bottom of the tank even If there ia
some oil left. The only remedy is to
drain and clean the tank before a
fresh supply is pumped in. The stor-
age tanks, large or small, need clean
ing and draining when spring comes,
and you may rest assured that the
conscientious dealers use sufficient
care in this respect.
Many farmers put up their cars for
the winter months, and when they
are ready to- start her running"
they should not only see that the
tank is clean and free from water
but also that the gasoline in their
barrel or storage tank is free from
water. It is easy to discover the wat
er as it does not mix with the oil. If
you, for instance, take an ordinary
: fruit jar or other glass vessel and
:; drain some of the gasoline in it, you
! will see the water at the Bottom Of
the jar and easily get rid of it. SO
there should not be any trouble from
; that source to start your engine.
Straining the gasoline through a
piece of chamois skin disposes of all
harmful matter.
With due care at the start Of the
season many of these complaints
could be eliminated and the deputy
oil inspectors all around the state
, will gladly render their best assis-
, lance to overcome this evil.
It would greatly simplify matters
il the dealers would instruct their
delivery men to assist in cleaning the
tanks before the fresh supply is put
1 into the tank or barrel. 1t would be
easy for a delivery man to bring a
small pump with him for such pur-
pose.
