Gasoline crisis answer Part 2You Research the Issue... You be the Judge.If your verdict is the same as ours, won't you write to your elected officials....write and inform them that there are better ways to conserve gasoline .... yes, there are better ways than to simply raise the price. Wouldn't you really like to drive from 110 to 160 miles on one gallon of gasoline ? THE OIL FILTER Beside gasoline, the only other petroleum product repeatedly used in great quantity in the conventional car is the oil place into the engine. Lubricating oil is the life-blood of the internal combustion engine. It cools, cleans , seals and lubricates. Larger engines require more oil, smaller engines less. THE PROBLEM Engine oil gets dirty. Dirty oil does not do a good job of cooling, cleaning, sealing or lubricating the inside of the engine. Therefore, all automobiles manufacturers recommend draining the dirty oil and replacing it with clean oil. Your owners manual tells how often these oil changes are recommended. NOTE : To help keep the engine oil cleaner for a longer period of time, cars come equipped with an oil filter. There are two types of filtering systems in use today. One is called the "full flow", the other is called "partial flow". Still theses filters do not keep out all of the contamination, and eventually they must be replaced and the oil changed. QUESTION:
ANSWER:
To further substantiate the above abstract, the interested researcher shoal read the following textbooks and reports:
QUESTION:
ANSWER:
We strongly urge the reader to examine this well documented report. It shows pictures of the oil filter , explains its function and provides before and after analyses of the oil. The filter keeps the oil perfectly clean up to 10,000 miles, the instead of draining the oil, they simply changes the filter pads. Thus, the oil does not become contaminated and does not need to be drained. What about today, over 40 years later ?
The following is a quote from the Frantz Oil Filter Company Literature (#973-303) entitled: Facts About Oil Filtering Systems". "The Frantz Oil Filter uses an element made of highly refined, uniform, very dense, absorbent paper. This element is so effective that it will remove particles as small as those in cigarette smoke 0.1 microns, and due to this paper's natural affinity for water , it will absorb up to 6 ounces of water, with no change in its filtering abilities. "In nearly 20 years of use ,no damage has ever been recorded due to the escape of particles of the Frantz element into the engine system. Conclusive proof of this is that after due research and testing , the Federal aviation Administration has granted the Aero Frantz certification for use on light aircraft engines. "Due to the Frantz Oil Filter's very effective filter element, it can perform a number of essential tasks for the internal combustion engine power, as well as the general American economy. Properly installed & serviced, the Frantz OIL FILTER can do the following:
"Absolutely ! The Frantz Oil Filter gas been on the market for nearly 20 years. Millions of units are in use. It is sold on a ONE YEAR MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE which states: ` The purchase price will be refunded if within one year from the date of installation the Frantz Oil Filter fails to keep engine oil analytically clean ( based on independent Laboratory analyses) under normal operating conditions.' "It's dirt in your oil that wears out your engine. With the Frantz, the dirt is in the filter . . .not in the engine. " . . . . . .Hundreds of testimonials have been received attesting to the Frantz' ability to reduce maintenance costs and save on oil and filter expenses, not only on passenger cars, but also on marine, industrial and heavy equipment engines." PROOF POSITIVE This writer has talked personally with many satisfied Frantz Oil Filter users. We have tested this oil filter ourselves with the results claimed the company. Our engine oil is always clean. Also, we have on file testimonial letters from a sheriff's department, mechanics, taxi companies, school bus, city bus, and trucking fleets. All highly recommended this filter. We further understand there are other filters of this type now available on the market. MY FELLOW CITIZEN Think of all the oil needlessly going down the drain every year. Think how it erodes our ecology and wastes a precious resource. We here and now offer proof positive that oil saving equipment does exist. What will you do with this information ? Are you one who believes in TRUE CONSERVATION and not WASTE ? Then join us in an effort to inform our elected and appointed officials. If the auto manufactures should be required to have various pollution controls on each car, should they not be encouraged to install a filter that keeps the oil in your car engine clean ? ! GAS SAVING ENGINES I suppose if we were to place a roadblock on a busy freeway and "stop" every passenger car, we would observe the following:
Most big trucks traveling the highways are designed to burn diesel fuel. QUESTIONS

Looking back over the written record we find that many gas saving engines have already been invented. Let us take a look at several of these inventions.
This report describes a motor that yields top efficiency on almost any fuel.
ALTERNATE FUELS
Our goal is simple and singular. Our goal is to inform our elected and appointed officials that gas savings equipment, engines, and cars have already been invented. These inventions will save gas - - many do not even need gasoline. Therefore, we do not need to pay higher taxes for gasoline as a means of "conservation".
We have researched over a hundred pages of written material on the Bourke engine, We have talked with a member of the former corporation established to build motor. Magazines and newspaper reports abound . . . . even a book has been written about this revolutionary engine. The following is a brief summary of our research findings. HISTORY The history of the Bourke engine and the details about how it operates are presented in a documentary written by Mr. and Mrs. Bourke the year before Russell Bourke died (1968). The copy we have on file was printed by :
TEXT the Bourke engine operates on the basis of a very simple principle, yet engineering and development involved is by no means simple. The basic component is of the opposed-cylinder, two-stroke type. However, these two-cylinder opposed units can be bolted together in clusters to achieve an engine of almost any displacement value desired. The system has co- operative pistons. They are connected by one rigid connecting rod that shuttles through an oil reservoir in a sealed crankcase. There are only two moving parts in the engine: a)he piston connecting rod and b) the crank shaft. The multitude of other parts found in a conventional internal combustion engine are not needed in the Bourke engine. The July 1954 Issue of Hot Rod Magazine Ran A fairly detailed report on the Bourke engine. Its chief claims are these: There are fewer moving parts, therefore , the engine is lighter in weight than most motors, yet it has far greater power out-put (the engine can be operated at much higher rpm without appreciable power fall-off). The engine has no mechanical sounds and can be operated in any position desired. We would like to draw special attention to one additional point. The Bourke engine operates on low quantity fuel with practically no exhaust fumes, no frame and very little heat. As the reporter for Hot Rod Magazine said:
This is another new (in America) concept of engineering.
This engine requires no spark plug. It is quiet, vibration free, light. It is ideal for aircraft.
This report goes on to give the history of the free- piston development. There were crude models built as long as 100 years ago. In the 1920's the Swedes invented an awkward model. The Germans used such an engine in their war-time submarines. The United States Navy began studying the concept in 1943. The report goes on to state:
The report concludes:
The above report is not an isolated article. Books have been written on the free-piston engine. Its use in stationary power plants is widespread. Details of its production and how it works are found in Business Week, April 25, 1953, pages 101 - 106. FURTHERMORE General Motors Corporation has a free-piston car. See the report with accompanying photos in the July 1956 issue of Popular Science. This report states:
Remember, this was written in 1956. Have you seen a free-piston powered car recently ?
This , another new concept in engineering, was developed by Dr. Julius E. Witsky. Testing the engine was carried out at the Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, Texas. The engine will run smoothly on a variety of fuels including but not limited to gasoline or diesel. The overall air-to-fuel ratios are 100:1 at low rpm and idle. The fuel economy is about 60 percent greater than today's carbureted engine. The smog emissions are greatly reduced. We encourage the reader to study this entire report and judge for yourself the possibilities-the great savings in our gasoline and oil supplies- and the improved performance one could have in the family car Here and Now.
