; caused Smuch'troubLa.^^lf. 13 ;a known
fact * that the E-M-JF, Studebaker and
j the Speedwell were penalized" for car
buretor trouble,, which, was ; caused by
particles, of the rubber hose through
which the gasoline was taken Into the
car getting linto the Jtank and.^then
working into the carburetor, v; There
are many people who do not. know the
real cause of the penalization, of^ihese
cars and will b}dl.svjs thafcjit.; was me

light by the hard test; -instead of. the
driver's carelessness. v \u25a0-.\u25a0..
It is a certainty that in future eyents
the gasoline ~. will be thoroughly
strained.
The dealers -in automobiles should
Impress most seriously on the mind of
a purchaser of a car the necessity. of
seeing that the gasoline used does not
contain any foreign, substance. ~ There
has been many an, owner. who has be
come dissatisfied with his-car from just
this cause. That this was the trouble
with the -oars mentioned can .be Judged
from the following letterrecelved from
the Standard; oil. company: ; -_ ";..,!.;
"Gentlemen: The writer noticed that
there was some trouble -with rubber: in
gasoline furnished at San Leandro dur
ing the endurance run which took place
last Sunday ? and Monday. % Thinking
that" possibly :the Standard oir company
might be. at fault (as they furnished
the gasoline)^ we had the matter thor
oughly investigated. We find that the,
gasoline was supplied, from a Standard
oil company tank wagon into a. tank,
being put there in buckets, not through
a hose.- The gasoline was then pumped
from the" tank through :a steam -hose
! Into the ! machines. .We. W e also 3 learned
-that this. steam, hose became clogged
with something, so much, so that-lt
was Impossible to get- a good stream
of gasoline from 'the tank; into ; the
machines?: This clogging J was caused
by rubber In" the hose being loosened
up •by the gasoline. Portions of the
rubber so loosened, >of course, ? went
with the gasoline into the tanks of the
machines, f We have in our possession
both the steam hose ; that- was origin
ally on the tank; and which undoubted
ly, caused the, trouble,* as ; the* rubber
was worn"' or. sloughed- off on ..the f in
side, and the garden hose that' was put
on afterward. It looks, howevar, as
if there had 1 been no< trouble with .the
garden hose.-T: If at any; time It would
be a satisfaction :to you,^ to- see this
hose the' writer iwould be very. glad to
show it to \u25a0\u25a0 you. - Both pieces - of hose,
as stated above, are in our possession.
