78 and I took the producer and fittings off. By running on gasoline the case of the trouble is eliminated. In its original construction the engine was so designed that the inevitable leakage of gases past the piston rings into the base of the engine was ren- dered inoffensive by the carburetor taking its supply of air from the engine base, which also resulted in relieving the pressure within the base so that the oil would not leak out at the various cracks. But, by fitting the engine with the kerosene gas producer, and attempting to burn kerosene, the carburetor action is changed and the permanent air is taken in through the producer in- stead of from the base, and consequently the leaking gases permeate the room and house and make everybody sick. Perhaps we would not notice it if the rooms were not so airtight. As to running on gasoline we have such a short while longer to run that we can well afford to use gasoline, I believe.
