do so especially In the winter Contrary to safety rules many people drive with closed windows Thus with- it ventilation a motorist would breathe poi sonous fumes which might seep Into the passenger compartment should an exhaust pipe or the muffler be defective Muffler manufacturers es timate that over percent of cars over one year old should have some kind of exhaust system parts re placement It may be only a clamp but a loose clamp near a Joint can be crucial It takes only a few min utes to have the exhaust system checked which can be done while a car Is on the lift for lubrication or other winterizing service When a car Is raised rup tures or spots In the exhaust pipes can be seen and your service man can check the muffler for clog ging Deterioration of the exhaust system Is mainly caused by condensation of the noxious vapors within the pipes Unfortunately few per sons ask to have the system inspected until a rusted tall pipe starts rattling or the of a ruptured muffler cannot be Ignored Noise caused by holes In exhaust parts may be slight at first The person who drives In heavy traffic with closed windows may not recognize that the sound Is coming from his own car Meanwhile he Is a candi date for CO poisoning Only by a thorough check of the exhaust system can the motorist be sure he Is not being exposed to the deadly fumes The great danger Is that carbon mon oxide Is colorless odorless and tasteless It creeps up on Its victims The body can collect It over a period of time therefore a fatal dose is not necessarily a single large dose Exhaust gases also cause Poor engine performance When not fully cleared from the manifold these fumes tend to dilute the fresh charges of air and fuel cut ting down on engine effi ciency and gas mileage The muffler handles a tain flow rate of exhaust Eases As these gases pass through a series of holes baffles and resonance chain the muffler reduces the pressure and cools the waste gases before they re passed Into the atmosphere Any restriction In the ex haust system will cause the engine to perform poorly and carbon and corrosive matter will accumulate This clogging also hastens deterioration of the muffler and pipes More Tire Mileage Let your wife do the lng According to Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company women 30 miles on tires while men average only with some men getting as little as 12 miles Of course the area of the country road conditions and driving speeds tire wear Most wives don t travel mph to the grocery store so maybe this explains Goodyear findings UI GEORGETOWN HERALD Thursday October low Mileage lzcs Cars Require Very Special Attention Owners of lowmileage cars those driven on the average of miles or less annually may believe their cars stay In mint condition because of the low mileage In fact unless the owner takes extra care of these vehicles their prized possessions may be turning into prize head aches The lowmileage car own er may believe he should get recommended service at normally suggested mileage Intervals But maintenance schedules are planned for automobiles driven the av erage of 10 or miles per year The engine especially suffers as a result of short- distance driving often because It does not have time to warm up properly Vital lubrication of the en gine a moving parts Is re stricted It Is this proper lubrica tion that minimizes wear within the engine With normal usage dust and the wear particles are carried to the drip pan by the oil But an engine must be allowed to run after it has warmed up in order for the warm oil to flow free ly and carry away all or most of the damaging par ticles When moving parts are thus lubricated they re cushioned by the oil from vibration and shock caused by the firing of com bustion charges when start the engine or accelerat ing A fast deteriorating ex haust system Is another common problem with old er lowmileage cars Con densation settles In the pipes causing rust from the inside The poor fuel con sumption of the littleused engine further contributes to a faulty exhaust system due to excessive residue which clogs the muffler and Increases emulsions If you re a short distance driver who wants to get more good years out of your car get a tuneup oil change niters change In spections of vital parts and systems at about twice the frequency suggested for cars driven to miles
