EXHAUST FUMES FROM VEHICLES
Importance Of
Servicing
Diesel-engine trucks and buses, if regularly and correctly serviced, have no exhaust smoke problem, according to the London Passenger. Transport Board and engineers of the Queensland Royal Automobile Club.
Letters have appeared in Christchurch newspapers about the increasing exhaust fume danger, especially from buses with diesei engines.
The Australian Automobile Association and the Australian Motor Vehicle Standards Committee have found that few petrolengined, vehicles emit excessive exhaust smoke, and diesel engines offend only when underpowered vehicles are used, or when the maintenance on fuel pumps and injectors is inadequate, or when vehicles are incorrectly driven If vehicles with sufficient power and regular maintenance are used by drivers who are not reluctant to change down when necessary, these authorities say that there is no exhaust fume danger.
