GASOLINE TROUBLES

Commercial gasoline is frequently dirty, carrying particles of matter that will stop the fine passages and openings of the carburetor, or containing water, the presence of which will prevent the proper operation of the engine. Dirt may be removed by the use of a strainer made of fine wire gauze, and water may be separated by filtering the liquid through chamois skin, the gasoline passing through and the water remaining. It is advisable to have a strainer and trap placed in the piping that connects the tank with the carburetor to form the lowest point of the system, the gasoline passing through it and being cleansed of dirt and water.
