First of all It must be able to vaporize readily In order to start easily and qUickly even in cold weather This Tills calls for a low initial boiling point which merely means the tempera temperature temperature ture at which the gasoline begins to Secondly i 1 must cont cont a i ell proportioned range of ate points or power elements clements to produce a steady sustained flow of power poser po er throughout the tine piston stroke It ilso must have a sufficiently sufficiently sufficiently high end ent point or final evaporating temperature to pre prevent prevent prevent vent too rapid

blistering blast of exploding s g So the scientist must make sure that the oil upon which he lie places his stamp of approval is capable of withstanding such punishment lie He tests it for flash point and point and and the flash point mu must t be high Also he subjects the oil to the cold test to determine whether or net it will retain its liquidity m in inlow inlow low For oil must always be ready to flow freely Ind qUickly to all bearing surfaces as soon s u the motor n rs st even after it has lias be been n standing out ln in freezing weather Otherwise the motor could be badly perhaps ruined
