"VAC" TANK

When It Plays Up

It occasionally happens that a car is held up owing to the vacuum tank failing to function. The golden rule for the average .driver on the road is to leave the tank well alone, except to fill it by any convenient means from the main tank. WERY frequently the tank will again take up its duties after being filled, and give no more trouble. Once the car reaches home, however, the tank can be dissembled carefully and cleaned out. The joh can he done hy anyone, hut, of course, care must he exercised ln handling the somewhat delicate "Innards." The best way to clean a vacuum tank out is to wash it cut with petrol. Half a pint will do the job excellently, any dirt being strained out through a wash leather. Many owners regard a vacuum tank as something fearful and wonderful and quite beyond their ability to handle. That idea is a mistake, as the "vac." is really a most tractable and obliging bit of mechanism that with an occasional clean out will function without fuss for the life of the most tenacious of mechanical Methusalehs.
