AVOID CHOKED JETS.
Nearly every car nowadays is fitted with" an efficient petrol filter; in addition fuel supplied from service pumps is very thoroughly filtered. Thus motorists seldom have trouble with choked jets. Nothing is infallible, however, and with all the. care in the world it is still possible for dirt to find its way into the petrol tank and eventually into the jets.
When this happens a thorough cleaning of the tank is the only cure, but it may not be convenient at the time. It will be found, however, that the dirt is much less likely to find its way down the petrol pipe if a good quantity of fuel be maintained in the tanjv. It is a good plan to avoid using the reserve supply, as this is, of course, taken from the bottom of the tank, where the dirt collects.
