Novel Auto Fuel Test From Benzol To Fuel Cars
A benzol fuel trial headed by C F Tangeman and Harry Fosdtok of the Hol Tan Company aims to run a Hol Tan car from the city to Philadelphia and back using benzol as the sole fuel. Joe Tracy, Vanderbilt Cup driver, will pilot the car on the Philadelphia leg with a return to the city planned for Saturday. The test seeks to gauge benzol's commercial and motive value as a gasoline substitute amid rising fuel costs. Benzol, a water white by product of coal gas, can power ordinary engines with minor carburetor adjustments. it offers greater power per unit, requiring less fuel for a given distance, though carburetor float and needle valve adjustments are needed due to benzol's higher specific gravity.
