O. K. asks: Will the steam from one-half pint of water per hour, admitted to the intake of an en- gine, make it run better? Will this amount of steam, when super- heated, result in greater gasoline mileage? WIIl it prevent the for- mation of carbon? Answer: We are very incredu- lous as to its bringing about any of these beneficial results, especially as exhaustive tests, made by one of the government testing labora- tories, gave very disappointing re- sults. Considering the fact that the burning of the hydrogen in the gasoline forms superheated steam. which fills the cylinder at each «x- plosion, It is not clear how'adding a little more steam can do any good in the way of fuel economy or carbon prevention. The fact remains, however, that stationary engines, using kerosene or other heavy olls at high compression, are often fitted with water Injection apparatus, in order to prevent their knocking, and this makes it. seem at least possible that an adequate supply of water admitted to an auto engine, whicl, uses low grade fuel at high compression, might male it operate more smoothly, LOW FUEL ECONOMY AFTER ACCIDENT P. ©. writes: Before I met with a slight accident to my ear, 1 was getting 18-20 miles per gal- lon of gasoline, but since then I get only about ten. I have screwed ithe low-speed carburetor adjust- ment away in, which should give a more economical mixture, but now the engine will not idle properly. 1 hope that you can tell me what is Answer: If you will tell us what your accident was and what you had to do to repair your car, what parts were disassembled and what adjustments you changed, there would be some chance that we could assist you. but until then we would be merely guessing. If your accident involved scored cylinders, for instance, your present low fuel economy would be partly explained. With your carburetor, changing the low-speed adjustment, does not materially alter fuel consumption, under load, but chiefly affects idle operation. In order to vary mix- ture quality during road service, you have to change the float level, by means of the adjustable float valve, which is provided. Touching Up The Trimmings Again That "Stitch In Time" Prover( WHEN A CAR is In almost constant use, in all seasons and weathers, the top and the upholstery soon begin to show wear and tear. Leather upholstery, before it becomes brown and shabby should be washed with soap and water and when dry, given a treatment with leather dressing. Cushion springs that have broken should be replaced by an upholsterer before the leather 1s broken through. Leather or other material, that has become loose from where it was tacked in place should be retacked at once, before it can become torn, guimp tacks being obtainable at any upholsterers. the necessary binding material and Side curtain fasten- ers, that have become lost or broken, should be replaced before a bad rain makes their absence too uncomfortable a matter and fastener eyelets, that have torn out of the fabric, should. be made fast again by sewing on a reinforcing patch. The top should be treated with a sult able dressing before it has become shabby and has lost its waterproof qualities. Grease spots are best cleaned from top fabric with warm soap suds, after all dust has been removed by brushing. Gasoline should not be used for cleaning, as it injures spreads grease spots. Side occasionally, so as not to become badly scratched. REAR AXLE NOISE R. D. B. writes: When I speed my car up to between 15 and 20 miles per hour, there arises a dis- agreeable rythmic, grinding noise, which suggests ill fitting rs. How can I locate and stop this un- pleasantness? Answer: Most probably this noise comes from inequality in the depth of mesh of the pinion and ring gears, at various points of revolu- tion of the latter gear and this usu- ally means that one or the other, or possibly both, of these gears does not run true. It is possible that a reduction of this noise can'be effected by a readjustment of the thrust bearings, which control the depth of gear mesh, but more like- ly you will have to disassemble the axle correct some misalignment that s there. Of course, broken or damaged teeth in the final drive gears, is capable of causing noise and imperfect lubrication may in- jortare ser'ously with, quiet opera- tion. ------ LIGHTS FOR BATTERY-LESS leather and waterproof fabrics and curtains should be dusted and refolded too deeply creased or the celluloid high-tension mageto? Answer: You cannot possibly do so, as the magneto can be used to supply ignition current and for no other p ose, The current which it prodWces is intermittent and is of altogether too high pres- sure and too low ampereage to op- erate lamp bulbsk Any attempt to take lighting current from it, would absolutely stop the engine from fir« ing. Why don't you install an acetylene gas tank and gas head- lights? You can obtain a second hand set very cheaply, no doubl; and the light thus obtainable would be good. If you wish you can secure a special lighting-gen- erator (not a generator of the bat. tery-charging type) and drive it from your old generator comnec- operate your electric lights. y tl i. gn J INSERTING PISTON RINGS W.
