Texaco announces a new gasoline produced via the Holmes Manley Process. The Texas Company claims the fuel is more volatile, vaporizes to a dry gas, and offers improved engine performance with no additives. Over two million barrels are on hand for distribution.
The article explains a lower end point for fuel by improved fractionating control in the gas line, with frequent volatility tests to ensure complete vaporization and burning of each cylinder charge. It notes reduced crankcase dilution, better cylinder lubrication, and better piston sealing, extending oil-change intervals and mileage.
The Holmes-Manley proportioning of intermediate boiling fractions yields a volatile fuel with a balanced distillation range and a faster pickup. The lean-mix Texaco provides smoother engine operation, more power on hills, and improved anti knock qualities with non detonation in the final product.
The article explains a low initial boiling point achieved by regulating still operations to retain lighter crude fractions. Texaco offers a high test gasoline of greater volatility, aiding easier starting and reduced battery load.
