In mail week a new fuel was in- troduced to the British public, known as Ethyl petrol. This con- sists of high-grado petroleum spirit to which have been added four other constituents. The a most important of these is tetraethyl lead, its particular value being that it prevents de- tonation of the fuel. The other constituents are ethylene, gibro- mide, halowax, and an aniline dye.
The new fuel, as I have proved by practical test, writes Mr. George C. Stead in the "Sunday Times," practically climinates knocking or pinking, even on en- gines which are prone to these faults. In addition, a knock due to carbon deposit is also removed by the use of this fuel.
