John Glover, extension ag ricultural engineer at North Carolina State University,sug gests that the gas shouldn't be stored for more than six monttw There are a number of rea sons for this, he explained. First, the fuel contains a blend of several parts* One of these provides engines with easy starting and4s -extremely volatile, evaporating rapidly. When the storage tank is ex posed to the sun or high tem peratures, most of this ingre dient is lost in about 60 days. Secondly, after gas "ages" a little, it becomes gummy, similar to shellac. This gum can stop up the engine carbur etor and cause engine deposits; The gum can cause damage when mixed in small amounts with fresh gasoline. Abo, seasonal changes in grades of gasolines provided by suppliers can mean trouble if World of Tomorrow Hovercraft (bottom) that spray crops, pull down warm air to warm the soil for early seed germination and longer growing seasons, and work the soil with vibrating tillage members will appear on many by the year 2000, Ford Motor Company farm machin-, ery experts predict.

The condition occurs when gaso line boils in the fuelling fuel pump or carburetor. Vapor lock can even cause OAKWOOD MOBILE HOMES Convenience an engine to cut off. The only remedy then would be to wai' for the engine to cool or to pour water on the lines or fuel pump to speed the cooling pro cess. Summer grade gasoline car cause hard starting during cole weather, Glover explained. The specialist suggests buy ing gasoline so it will be usee in one season or at least in a six-month period. Another consideration b the kind of storage tank and the place it b located. A dark colored 300-gallon tank in bright sunlight during hot weather can lose 10 to 12 percent of its capacity by eva poration in about three moxtha In a 55-gallon barrel, losses ran run as high as 12 gallons or 22 percent of capacity during the summer. By painting the storage tank with white or aluminum painty evaporation losses can be re duced by one-third. Glover pointed out that eva poration can be reduced bytvo thirds in white tanks equipped with special vented or pressure caps and kept in the shade, open shed or buried.
