New Motor Fuel Bared by General Motors
Dr Charles F Kettering announced a new high power fuel with tetraethyl lead that can double engine output and boost fuel economy. GM is testing the blend in a medium plant producing 5 to 10 barrels daily for military and aviation use, though the production method remains secret. A twelve cylinder Allison engine ran over 2500 hp on the blend, far above its 1500 hp rating with 100 octane gas. Engines must be specially designed to use the fuel.
