TO-DAY'S MOTORING HINT
THE PETROL TAP
There are certain habits which every owner-driver should cultivate, because this goes a long way to prevent the neglect of various dutics.
An excellent habit, for example, is to turn off the petrol tap when ever the car is left idle for any length of time. It only needs a minute speck of dirt In the car buretter to cause flooding. Flood-. ing is not only wasteful, but may prove dangerous.
A considerable quantity of petrol, may be lost overnight, and no one can afford nowadays to lose evon a drop. A flooding carburetter is dangerous, because the air in the garage becomes mixed with fumes So that. an, explosive mixture is produced. A naked light or per haps a lighted cigarette or pipa' may cause a serious accident r petrol flows on to the floor and comes Into contact with the tyres they may be ruined
It pays to turn off the fuel on avery occasion.
