BE YOUR own FIRE

AutOmotive Engineering.)

How gasoline burns or explodes IS
what puts fear into the average man
and makes him stand at what ne con-
siders a safe distance while he
watches his car or truck go up in
smoke. If the fuel tank contained
twenty, ten or even one gallon Of
ordinary black gunpowder, his fear
would be exceedingly well. founded,
since whenever fire reaches any part
of a mass of gunpOwder, it all ex-
plodes in a small fraction of a sec
ond. Fortunately gasoline alone IS
not only non-explosive but will not
even burn unless it is first evapo-
rated and the vapor in. contact with
the oxygen of the air.
Even if the gasoline tank is under
the cowl or under the front seat, there
is little danger of its contents being
ignited from a carburetor fire unless
it is allowed to burn for several min
utes. If the gas tank has its screw
cap in position, the walls of the tank
must be almost red hot above the
liquid before the fuel inside the tank
will be set on fire. Hence it is per-
fectly safe to fight the carburetol
fire before it has had time to heat
things up too much.
The first thing to do, of course, is
to close the valve in the pipe line be.
tween tank and carburetor.
The next is to smother the fire
Pouring water is worse than useless
because it will simply float the light
er gasoline and oil to the surface an'
make it burn better. A wetted clotl

10 SELL YOUR USED CAR.

TO SELL YOUR USED CAR.
At last you have found a prospect
who is actually "soBd'' on your used
a Il. The demonstration has been
perfect, the old boat has pulled the
hills lsweetly and chugged steadily
along at five miles an hour. The
prospect gets out to examine the
tires. "Blah!" You can't tell me
that a car with only five Thousand
miles on the speedometer should have
four different makes of tires on its
wheels" he sneers. And your pros
pect is gone. 1t is your fault for not
making that sale-your failure to
remedy the a so that it will check
absolutely with your sales talk. What
you haven't taken into account is
that the used-car buyer is a wise
guy these days and you've got to have
a machine that satisfies his expert
mechanical eye.
Ask yourself the following ques-
lions, then check against the car you
are to sell:
Do all four Of the tires show a
similar degree Of wear? Are they
the same make? Does the speed
Ometer agree with them? Remember
that the 5000 mile gag on the speed
ometer is one of the oldest that is
pulled. Be different and set yours
at 10000. Even better than this,
leave the speedometer Gas is"
And if you repaint the car, don't
forget to replace all denied hub caps.
This insignificant feature is gener-
ally the most neglected. And the
prospect is the first to spot it.
Test the upholstery to determine
whether or not the padding is out Of
place or that the springs are de-
pressed, especially in the drivers
seat. The expense to repair it is
small and this is one of the places
that the expert buyer inspects for
wear.
Is the top in good condition? II
not, have it repaired. Al sagging tor
