LOSS OF FUEL

“Sciutator? Answers a Query.

D. O, writes: Sometimes, wheni driving along, especially when desconding hills, I notice a strong smell of unburned gasoline, buti when I look for a leak I find none. The carburettor seems to be tight and the piping shows no leakage. Where does this email some from and does it indicate) Imuch loss of fuel?.

Answer: A little gasoline some- times escapes through the air-vent! of the vacuum tank. if this is sat! rather low and the rear tank is nearly full.

" SAFETY

FIRST."

For safety. Reliability, Strength, Cleanliness and Economy the NERACAR” stands unrivalled.

The NERACAR” was not built for excessive speed. On plain level roads, it will give a speed of 35 miles. whilst on hills-snch as the Chin Wan Hill--it will give a speed of 25 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials. Considering that most people rarely go motoring at more than 30 miles on level roads or 20 miles up hills, the "NERACAR" has a reserve speed which is quite ample.

The "NERACAR was specially designed and built to meet the needs of people who, in their daily stocations and pleasures, find that what is really required is a reliable, fair priced. light two-wheeled motor car that will carry them about safely, economically, at a fair speed and without the risk of having their clothing soiled by dirt, grease and oil The NERACAR" answers all these requirements and its gasoline consumption is one gallon to 100 miles!
