+2 WINNETKA TALK WATCH CAR NOW-HINT | drometer a Motor Club Gives Expert and timely Advice to motorists on Prevention of Freeze-ups At this time of the year the motorist begins to think of (getting his car ready for winter driving. According to a bulletin the mechanical first aid department of the Chicago Motor club, the ordinary cooling system holds about 34 gallons of water, and if one gallon of de- natured alcohol is added to 214 gallons of water, to fill the radiator, you will have a 30% solution, which will not freeze until the mercury gets down to 10 above zero. This is satisfactory for most conditions, even if the thermometer may be standing around the zero mark, because it takes some time for a car to cool down to the temperature of the air. One and one- third gallons, however, a 40% solution, will give immunity down to 2 degrees below zero, and if the car is left in an unheated garage overnight this is safer. Of course, if a real old fash- ioned cold snap comes on the safest thing to do is to see that the tem- perature contains a 50-50 solution of | alcohol and water. In buying alcohol for the radiator, only denatured should be accepted, as it is harmless to the radiator, hose connections, or engine, whereas wood alcohol usually contains free acetic acid which is harmful to these parts, and while it is a slightly better anti- freeze than not enough so to warrant its higher cost. The trouble with alcohol is that it boils at a somewhat lower temperature than water, and while this is not a drawback from the standpoint of heat- ing, it means that it will evaporate fast and one can never be sure he has enough alcohol in his radiator un- less he makes a hydrometer test Regular hydrometers for testing the specific gravity of anti-freeze solutions are on the market. In using a hy- issued by | denatured alcohol, it is | sample is taken in the | usual manner, but unlike the battery test, the desirable thing is to have | as low a reading as possible. It is im- | portant that the reading be taken where the temperature is not below 55 degrees fahrenheit. If the reading is 1000 then you have pure water, which will freeze at 32 degrees above zero. The presence of alcohol will lower the specific gravity, and also | will lower the temperature at | it will freeze.
