This Is especially so If you own a car built during the past seven years, according to (he Petroleum InstiAmerican tute. If pur car is a 1963 or later model, it is equipped with a device to control pollutants that would otherwise come from the engine crankcase. If you own a 1968 or 190 model, it also has a system for reducing tailpipe emissions. These devices and systems, however, will continue to vork properly and, whata more, allow the engine to perform satisfactorily only if you have your car checked regularly. A periodic tune-u-p will aave money in fuel and repair coets, give pu a smoother running car, and help cut down on air pollution. The first device to control automotive pollution wai installed nationally In all 1963 cars. The device called the posiltve crankcase ventilawas tion,' or PCV valve to recirculate unturned hydrocarbons bade to the engine where they have another chance to burn. Formerly, these unburned gases (called blowby gases) pu oeslgred escaped past the piston rings the crankcase, where they were vented into the air. Installation of tho PCV device cut total hydrocarbon emissions from the typical car by 24 per cent, compared with cars without the device. The PCV valve will continue to do its Job in controlling hydrocarbon emissions If it's Into and serviced as required under your car warranty. Otherwise, you may be is for trouble. Over a of time, crankcase fumes tend to build up gums nr varnishes. These could cause the valve to stick and not function. If the valve gets stuck in the open position, the carburetor will feed the engine too lean a mixture of fuel and air. The result: poor starting and periodically Inspected period frequent possible while wait stalling and idle at you stoplight In the more likely event that the valve (ticks in the closed position, crankcase fumes will be trapped in the crankcase. Then fumes will either escape through the oil filler breather cap (if the breather cap Is clean), or form aludge in the crankcase. This adds, can create corrosive which ruin engine bear- about two-third- s. Exhaust controls also cut carbon monoxide emissions by around 60 percent, to earlier cars compared without such controls. Theie systems are thus ings. The best way to prevent formation of these adds Is to have the valve checked each time you have your oil changed or engine tuned. Most car manufacturers recommend periodic replacement of the PCV valve. This can be done inexpensively and easily by your service station This preventive mechanic. maintenance can prove to be cheap insurance against an expensive bearing replace- ment emissions bon very effective in reducing tailpipe emissions but they make regular maintenance all the more essential. Here's why: Your spark plugs run hotter and may have to be replaced Job. The second aignifican. step in automotive pollution control occurred, nationally, with the installation of exhaust control systems, beginning with 1968 cars. These systems are designed to control both hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions. In most 1968 and 1969 cars, the exhaust control system is based on modification of the engine to achieve a Jean fuel mixture tad retarded ignition to product higher1 combustion more often. can Only periodic tune-up- s keep the pollution control system and its parts (air pumps, pump drive belts, air hoses, and other hardware) working both to at top efficiency insure satisfactory and eco nomical engine operation and to minimize exhaust emissions. The auto and oil Industries are continuing to work to further reduce auto pollution. The 1970 models will have improved exhaust controls to induce hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions by some 30 percent below the levels of the 196S and 1969 models. The 1971 models are expected to have devices that will virtually eliminate evaporation of fuel from the carburetor and fuel tank. With this step, total hydrocarbon emissions will have been reduced by around 85 percent. And farther on down the road are systems, now Li the experimental stage, that have the potential to control auto pollu- ADJUSTED end WKCQMI t 29.88 i LETS CONSIDER..
