DISCOVER REMEDY
FOR MAJOR LOSS
OF CARS POWER
Gasoline additive neutraIizes
deposits, boosts power
up to l5%

Captive power" is handi-
Gaping a big majority Of
engines-by as much as 15%
according to automotive
engineers.
They explain that lead and
carbon deposits reduce engine
performance by holding power
captive. In combustion chambers
these deposits become red hot
and pre-fire fuel-before the
piston is in the proper firing
position. This condition, called
pre-ignition by automotive
engineers, sets power working
against itself, wastefully.
Twin power robbers
These same deposits also form
on spark plugs, and short-circuit
them to cause misfiring. These
twin power robbers, pre-ignition
and misfiring, prevent full en-
gine performance, especially
when power is needed most-on
hills, and when accelerating.
Research scientists of the Shell
Oil Company report that the new
additive blended into Shell Pre-
MUM Gasoline and sold under
the trademark TCP, releases
power hitherto held captive by
engine deposits. 1t does this, they
explain, by "fireproofing" de-
posits in combustion chambers to
stop pre-ignition. 1t also makes
the spark plug deposits nom
conductive and stops misfiring.
