NEW METHOD TO INCREASE AUTO FUEL MILEAGE ASIDE FROM SAVING GASO- LINE NEW INVENTION ELI- MINATES NECESSITY OF CARBURETOR DELRAY,BEACH, Jan. 14.(FNS) —While the gasoline shortage may be too much of a problem for Mr. Ickes and the petroleum industry, it has only served to sharpen the wits of a Palm Beach county farmer who has developed a meth- od whereby a carburetor may be eliminated in th eoperation of a gasoline engine, with the resultant elimination of heavy and expen- !sive motor parts, and at the same time give double mileage per gal- lon of gas, The Delray Beach News reports that Mare Genton, local farmer, conceived the idea of filling his gas tank with absorbent material i which completely absorbs the tank of liquid gasoline. When the en- gine is started, air is pulled through the porous. spongy material in the tank and takes with it vapor- ized gasoline. Thus air and gaso- line vapor are mixed directly from the tank and the necessity for a carburetor is eliminated. By the use of this method, Mr. Genton states that he has doubled {his mileage per gallon of gas, us- ing it on his own car, and has found that it has no disadvantages. | He points out that with this meth- od, simpler, less complicated and costly engines could be devised and that the danger of fire is great- ly reduced as there is no liquid gasoline in the tank to spill or leak in case of accident. |FLORIDA FARM BUREAU BOOSTED TAMPA, Jan. 14.
