A fte r fully diagnos ing the case, he reports that a mixture o f half gasoline and half kerosene can be used in cars with good results without injuring the motor if the crank case is drain ed about every 250 miles. Most tractors, says Harold, are run entirely on keroeene but the auto mobile, with more delicate ma chinery, will require a mixture of at least 50 per cent gasoline. The pistol rings will not be in jured if the engine is drained and filled with new lubricating oil every 250 or 300 miles.
