Applicants' The practical valae of Ford simplicity of design is es« pecially apparent in the fuel system. The gasoline tank is built integral with the cowl and is unusually sturdy becanse'it is made of heavy sheet steel, teme plated to prevent rust or corrosion. An additional factor of strength is the fact that it is composed of only two pieces, instead of three or four, and is electrically welded—not soldered. Since all adjustments are fixed except the needle valve and idler, there is practi cally nothing to get out of order. The choke rml on the dash acts as a primer and also as a regulator of your gasoline mixture. The new hot spot manifold insures complete vaporization of the gas<»line before it enters the combustion chamber of the engine. Because of the location of the tank, the entire flow ^ gasoline is an even, naturm flow-following the natural law of gravity. This is the simplest and most* direct way of supplying gasoline to the carburetor without vari ations in pressure. The^uo- line feed pipe of tlie new Ford i» only 18 inches long and is easily accessible all the way. As a matter of fact, the fuel system of the new Ford is so simple in design and so carefully made that it requires very little service attention. The gasoline passes from ihe tank M the carburetor through a filter or sediment bulb mounted on the steel dash which separates the gasoline tank from the Migine. The filter or sediment bulb should be cleaned at regular inter\als and the carburetor screen removed and washed in gasoline. Oc casionally the drain plug at the bottom of theearbnretor should be removei] and the carburetor drained for a few seconds. The carburetor is specially designed wd has been built to deliver many thousands of miles of good service. Have your Ford dealer look after these important little <letails for you when you have the car oHed and greased. A thorou^, peri- .odic ebecking-up costs little, hut it has a great deal to do with long life and continnously good performance. I Lieut. A.
