you fill tank to the brim

DO YOU try to ‘‘filler up’ to even money at the gas
pump, causing the automatic nozzle to shut off sever-
al times before you're satisfied the tank is full?

Bieak the habit, urges the Car Care Council of the
Automotive Industries Association. Overfilling can
waste fuel and cause engine problems as well. Further,
it pollutes the air.

The reason for all this, says the council, is that raw
gasoline at the top of the tank enters a tube leading to
a vaper recovery container under the hood. The char-
coal filled canister is supposed to send gas vapors to
the engine where they are burned off, but the raw gas
presents a problem.

It ‘creates an over-rich mixture and causes poor
combustion in the engine.

The result: poor gas mileage, rough running and
possibly hard starting. You may also notice a gas odor
in the car.

Unburned hydrocarbons from auto exhaust, a ma-
jor cause of air pollution, have been reduced by 96 per

cent since 1960. The biggest source of trouble from
the tail pipe now is due to maintenance neglect: a dirty
air filter, worn spark plugs, incorrect timing or gen-
eral need for a tune-up.

But other sources of hydrocarbon vapors, such as
fuel evaporation when filling the vehicle, continue to
plague us.

Corrective measures are being taken. For example,
some service stations have special nozzles and hoses to
capture these vapors and return them to the under-
ground tanks.

An expensive proposition, but effective.

There’s talk of incorporating sealed systems on
future vehicles. whereby the vapors cannot escape
during the refueling process. For now, however,
vigilance is the answer.

And, of course, keep the engine in good mechanical!
condition. An added cautic ‘or motorists with respi-
tatory ailments: avoid gasoline fumes. They
especially irritating to sensitive lungs.
