Light as a Feather ■ Plume Benzine is not as light as an Ostrich plume, but it is lighter than other benzine. Its specific gravity is only 715. An imperial gallon weighs less than 71b. 2£oz., and being light^it is easily changed to vapour, and mixing readily with the oxygen in the air forms a powerful explosive mixture which is quickly and easily ignited by any kind of spark. The magneto need not always be in perfect order so as to give the hottest and fattest spark— any spark will do — and as no liquid petrol gets to the combustion chamber, the explosions are regular and uniform, the engine powerful and sweet=running, and, more important still, there is less tendency to the formation of carbon.
