Cahill said the company will not reorder any of the point-of-saitems, allowing the stocks to deplete, likely by the end of the year. Fina said it will continue running the commercial featuring Tillis, promoting its 3,000 gas stations in its market, primarily in the Sun Belt. An article about Fina's promotional materials appeared in the August issue of the association's journal and resulted in about three dozen protest letters to Fina.

Four Pittsburgh investors who sent money to Felker for work he said would lead to a prototype engine that could bring millions of dollars in profits filed suit in Miami federal court Tuesday against Felker, his wife, Evelyn, and his company. The investors allege that Felker conned them into paying $152,518.56 for exclusive rights to nis project, which they claim is a boondoggle. Mrs. Felker Tuesday said her husband was out of town and she knew nothing about the invention or the lawsuit. Pittsburgh lawyer Harlan Stone said a Greek Orthodox priest, a lawyer and two other investors formed Westmoreland Associates to fund the invention. Felker reportedly is a relative of one of- the priest's parishioners. Felker invited his associates to Miami in January to demonstrate the engine, which he said could run on water. But Westmoreland lawyer William Caroselli said he and the three other investors didn't like what they saw. In Felker's garage, Caroselli said they found an engine mounted on an automobile chassis, withoui wheels.
