If any sludge formations are found, it must be that water has found its way into the crankcase | somehow. Some slight amounts may enter by way of the breather pipe in the form of a vapour, to be condensed against the cold metal. By far the greater amount, however, comes from the combustion chamber, in this way; gasoline is a chemical com- bination of hydrogen (H) and) carbon (C). Gasoline burns in air, and by "burning" we mean. combining with oxygen (O). This, of course, constitutes about one; fifth of the air we breathe. The carbon in the gas unites with the oxygen to form Co2: carbon dioxide a gas which escapes out of the exhaust. But the Hydrogen in the gasoline unites with the oxygen to form H20,-water. Of course this water is in the form of steam. But when the engine is cold, the metal parts, before they become heated, serve to condense this steam in the com- bustion chamber, in the form of minute drops which, under the action of the piston, are beaten up with the oil film on thei cylinder walls, as this film is be. ing continuously replaced with oil from the crankcase, soon tha water ladon oil is transferred to the crankcase, there to be, whip- ped up with the oil supply by the. action of the connecting rods.

If the screen has a fine, mesh, the sludge will cover it, sometimes causing it to be broken by the vacuum created by the pumpor with less positive a pump system, the oil supply will be cut off, starving the bearings and caus- ing them to burn out.

In connection with the forina- tion of water from the source in- indicated, it is interesting to note that in dirigibles such as the Shenandoah was, a part of this water of combustion was condensed and retained in order to keep the weight of the ship constant.
