in models designed to fight air pollution There a one cot that doesnt have nine lives a catalytic con verter on model cars Prolonged use of leaded fuel will kill the effective ness or the pollutionfight ing unit The converters Job is to change carbon monoxide CO and hydrocarbon HO emissions Into harm less carbon dioxide and water Catalysts of ceramic beads and Inert metallic pellets are used in the process Leaded fuel coats the pellet with lead deposits and renders them Ineffec tive As a result harmful emissions escape the muf fler like unit and enter the atmosphere While the car would perform nor mally pollution levels would exceed legislated levels Designed to function for a minimum of miles the converters also are expected to help Improve gasoline mileage Unleaded gasoline Is now available at most gas sta tions in the The gas Is expected to be carried by outlets In Canada and Mexico particularly In areas where cars fre quently travel Should you be out of gas In an area where lead- free fuel Is not available then buy enough gas to get you to a station where the proper fuel is sold A con verter can tolerate an oc casional usage of leaded fuel since the heat of the oxidation will bum off lead deposits once un leaded fuel is reinstalled The catalyst will then re turn to full efficiency To prevent inadvertent filling with leaded fuel a smaller gas filler neck is found on cars Thus nozzles at gas pumps will be adaptable for unleaded fuel not for the leaded variety The Job of he rata lytic converter it lo change the dragon breath of IIC and CO into of carbon

fuel economy tests motorists cars were tested before and after a tuneup Results showed that a tuneup with new Champion spark plugs saved on the average a gallon of gasoline in every tankful Considering that 3 of every 5 cars on the road need a tuneup right now tuneups alone could save us millions of gallons of gasoline each week Tuneups benefit us in other ways too Quicker acceleration for safer passing Dependable starts Plus a substantial reduction in emissions See your mechanic regularly for a Champion tuneup Once a year or every 10000 miles CHAMPI0N Weve got your plug
