Correct answers to Car ""Cool", test wvith reasons Correct answer is FALSE in- every case. Here's why. 1) The rad iator cap se ais the radiator to build up and maintain-pressure in the system. Pressure caps weaken with age and should be checked seasonally. 2) Neyer put oul on a drive beit. While beit dressing or special lubri- cant designed for this pur- pose often will serve as a temporary 'cure for a squeaking beit, the noise usually is due to a glazed surface on the beit con- tacting the pulley. If the beit makes a cicking sound, look' for a crack. Play it safe and replace noisy beits. 3) Water bouls at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100' Celsius). Antifreeze in a pressurized system, how- ever, will not boil beiow 2'76 degrees F. if it is of the correct proportion. 4) There are ten fluids in miost cars. You'l i fnd themn in the engine crank- case, transmission, rear axie, brake system, power, steei4ing system, cooling system, battery, wind- shield wýasher reservoir, air conditioner and (iast but f ar f rom least) the gas 'tank. 5) False again! Don't wait until a hose starts leaking to replace it., After about three years of average driving hoses gen- erally have deteriorated to apoint where they soon coud be spewîng expensive anti-freeze ail over the highway. Preventive re- placement in time is the answcr. 6) Neither too cool nor too hot an engine is cffi cient. But without a tem- perature gauge on the instrument panel it's diffi- cuit to determine whether or not your engine is run- ning too cool. If your car is iosing power or burning more .gas than it used to, it may bc due at least in part to a f aulty thermo- stat that fails to kecp the system up to temperature. Another dlue: a heater that's not putting out as it shouid. 7) Don't believe it. Anti- freezeis a composition of many chemicais, somc cf which deteriorate with age and use. Anti-f re eze -cool- ant should be replaced seasonally as part, of comn- plete systemn maintenance. 8) Neyer try to remove the radiator pressure cap on an overheating engine. You couid be seriously scalded. Instead, allow the car to cool down, then, remove the cap slowly and carefully uising a large wad of towels or other protec- tive cloth. Wear leather gioves for added protec- tion if you have them availabie. 9) Too tight an adjust- ment puts undue strain not oniy on the beit but also on the bearings of the acccssories it drives. To check for proper tension, press flrmly haif wayý between the pulieys. The beit should defleet no more than a'haif inch. 10) Most seasoned me- chanics recomnmend re- placinig clamps when hoses are instalied. Although thcy sometimes can be re- used, clamps generally lose eficectivencss through rust, corrosion1 and weakening of the metai. When invest- ing in cooling system ser- vice, as with other car maintenance, your best buy is a job donc properly. From German expert..

Gentie driving, espe- cially when starting from rest and early shifting in- to the next-higher gear. If transmission is auto- matie, make il shift up- wards at low speeds and use the kickdown sparing- ly. Brake gently. Remetu- ber: hîgh engine revs need nmore fuel and a lot of economny eniergy will bce wasted by' high braking. 2. Select your speed ae- cording tu the developing traffic situation. If lights are red, don't'rush up and brake, but let the car rol gently, su when the lights change, you can accelerate without changing gear. 3. Every car has a "Most econumical" speed range. Usually around 50 mph. Keep it tu that speed wherever possible. Neyer "4pump" on the acceler- alor. Titis sqnirts raw fuel int the -lengine - at yuur cost. Driving at changing -speeds is un- -econoînical - driving ai a steady speed saves fuel. .A lotof it. ln nationwide fuel economy tests, motorists " cars were tested before and after a tune-up. Resuits showed that a tune-up 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 tune-up1 right now, tune-ups alone could save us millions of gallons of gasoline each week. Tune-ups benefit us in otherways, too. Quicker acceleration for safer passing. Dependable starts. Plus a substantial reduction in emissions. See your mechanic regularly for* a Champion tune-up. Once a year or every, 10,000 miles.
