MORE POWERFUL GASOLENE
Automobile manufacturers are
looking toward the adjustment of
their engines Co the leas volatile but
more powerful gasoline now being
supplied by the petroleum refiners.
Refiners, in order to meet the Increas
ing demands upon petroleum stocks,
have cut deeper into the crude oil
and are producing a fuel considerably
more powerful than that of former
years. The problem of engine ad
aptation to the supply of petroleum
and its refined parts is one expected
to come before the statistical re
search bureau which the America!
Petroleum Institute, with headquar
ters in New fork, intends to estab
lish. In this Institute producers, re
finers and consumers of oil may join
in co-ordinating their efforts for the
impovement of the industry.
Dr. Van H. Manning, director of
the United States Bureau of Mines,
is also chairman of the Improvements"
Committee of the Institute. He has
recommended to the Institute direc
torate that the new bureau be estab
lished with an appropriation of $1,
000,000 a year to be raised on a pro
duction basis from' refiners and pro
ducers. A special commute to con
sider this recommendation has been
appointed by President Thomas O -Donnell.
A favorable report on the
Manning proposal is expected by in
dividual members of the Institute.
The problem of using a less vol
atile, but more powerful gasoline for
automobiles is not a new one. Ac
cording to Henry L. Doherty, chair
man of a committee of petroleum
producers and refiners which is now
negotiating with the manufacturers
of motors, Doherty's committee and
another headed by John N. Willys, of
the automobile manufacturers, have
had the problem under consideration
for some time. Although petroleum
producers are bending every possible
effort toward increased production
they have thus far been unable to
adequately cope with the enormous
increase in the demand for petroleum
products especially gasoline. Re
finers, however, have advanced the
only practical solution to the threat
ened shortage by cutting deeper into
the crude oil and extracting a greater
volume of gasoline which is less vol
atile but more powerful. In this way
it is hoped the supply of this fuel can
in some measure keep pace with the
demand.
It is significant to note the spirit
of cooperation, between petroleum 1111111111111111
