A very convenient cotter-pin
puller may be made by bending
the end of a piece of 3-S-inch rod
into the shape of button hook.
On the other end a T-shaped han
die is riveted. An additional con-
venience is to drill a piece of l.
inch round stock and place 1t on
the body OF the puller for use as a
sort OF sliding hammer. A series
OF taps with this hammer on the
end OF the puller will loosen the
recalcitrant cotter pin.

In the final analysis means exces
sive gasoline consumption, sine.
1t will require additional fuel ex
penditure to make up for the waste
and the valves must be kept accur.
ately seated all the time, because
a very small leak here will cause
a very large waste Of fuel.
In the interior Of the engine a
great deal of unnoticed waste will
result from piston rings that are
too loose. When this condition de-
velops quantity OF fue, forces is
way down past the rings into the
reservoir and is, of course, wasted.
The owner who has reason to sus-
pect this condition should try fit
ting some of the leak-proof piston
rings Of patent construction de-
signed to correct this fault. This
same condition is sometimes pro-
duced by the use of lubricating
oil of too light body. The oil is
thinned by the heat present under
running conditions and lacks the
yiscosity to make perfectly gas
tight seal at the piston. AS a result
the fuel forces its way past the
rings and into the reservoir.
Fuel Economy Possible.
Then there is a possibility OF
utilizing heavier and cheaper
grades Of fuel. Most modern cars
wilr run on the cheapest grade OF
gasoline and even on a mixture OF
gasoline and kerosene, in the pro-
portion Of one gallon of the latter
to three of the former. Obviously
certain adjustments Of the carbur-
etor will have to be made. perhaps
by the service station, but the saw
ing in cost between gasoline etI
26 to 33 cents and kerosene at
21 cents per gallon justifies the
trouble. II the owner desires to try
out one of the kerosene carbure-
tors or other devices for using this
heavier fuel we would suggest his
getting one that Is sold on approx
al or with money-back guarantee
so that he may find out IL the ap-
paratus works satisfactorily on his
vehicle before he makes the final
purchase.
We spoke before of power losses
In the engine, and this form of
fuel waste is not confined to the
power plant. For instance, much
power may be wasted at the
