PUTS CARBON TO WORK ‘ T . . • ♦ ,• . • JUTTING the old demon, carbon, to work sounds like a paradox-*- nevertheiess that’s just what GULF No-Nox Motor Fuel does and 1 here’s how it happens: Compression is power. The more com pression the more power. Greater compression is secured by reducing the displacement or space in the combustion chamber. Carbon deposits mater ially reduce this space—old time gasoline would riot withstand .this "j ■ • \ added carbon compression — clicks — knocks—pings or detonations of distress cftiickly following sudden acceleration or heavy pulls. No-Nox withstands higher compression-r-stops the knocks or detonations, thereby increasing engine efficiency. GULF No-Nox and Carbon work together for more power and greater mileage.
