This is particularly true if water has been add- ed from time to time. Rust inhibitors, general- ly an ingredient in perma- nent anti-freeze solutions, tend to "break dolwn.*' causing an accumulation of rust and scale. Therefore, ta insure against permanent engine damnage due to overheat- ing. a spring flushing and installation of new coolant is recommended. The Council lists other basic services for keeping cooling systems in top con- dition. They include: Checking the radiator and hoses for leaks under- pressure. Roses - also should be examined for cracks and sponginess. Defective hoses sbould be replaced. In addition hose connections should be tight. Fuel filters demand attention, 1& too Your car stal>s, refuses to start again and there is a noticeable odor of gasoline. The cuiprit could be a dirty fuel filter. Here's what happens: Inside the carburtor is a delicate valve which alows the correct amnoemt of fuel to enter the float chamn- ber. Dirt, however, can prevent that valve from shutting off. The resuit is ex- cessive gasoline pouring into the carburetor, ultunately flooding the engine. Car Care Coumeil points out that replacement of the fuel filter elemnent is a recommended part of any engine tune-up. If you are uncertain as te when your fuel fiter element' was last replaced, .play it saàfe and have it dose. Testing the thermostat ta make certain it opens at the correct temperature. Pressure testing the radi- ator cap ta make certain it holds the recommended pressure. lnspecting aIl drive beits for fraying. cracking or de- teriaration. Also make sure the tension is proper. DROP IN ANYTIME pump for wear. The owner who neglects his ear's cooling system is vulnerable ta car trouble. says Car Care Council. A study by a major man- ufacturer of car coolants involving about 1 .200 cars showed more than a third of the three-year-old mod- SNAP ot corrosion in ineir cool- ants. The percentages were: one year aId: 22 percent, two years aid: 32 percent. three years aid: 36 percent. None of the cars checked was an '-old- car. Nearly haif the cars checked needed some kind of cooling-system service.
