Energy Branch Director Herbert Jones said the campaign was being initiated at this time because owners of outboard motors and power mowers would soon be placing their machines in storage and moto- rized snow vehicles were being prepared for use. He urged owners of the machines to exercise caution in cleaning the machines and placing them in storage and indicated the extreme hazard in using gasoline to clean off the machines and their parts since gasoline fumes could be ignited by a pilot light, a spark or by someone lighting a cigarette. Recently, a man cleaning his outboard motor in the basement of his home, died from burns following an explosion of gasoline fumes touched off by a pilot light. : The Energy Branch has s2t out a number of guide- lines to be followed in the handling and storing of volatile fuels and the devices they power: - Before storage, outboard motors and lawn mowers should be drained of gasoline in the open air - not in- side a building. Gasoline deteriorates over a few months and if left in a vented tank would gum up the motor, so that nothing is gained by storage through winter. - Never use gasoline or naphtha to clean motors or Continued next column cece. their parts. - Never use gasoline for cleaning clothes, paint brushes or other materials. A - Use approved, well-marked containers for gasoline and naphtha. - Keep gasoline out of reach of children and away from possible sources of ignition. - Check motorized snow vehicles to assure there are no gasoline leaks. A carelessly thrown cigarette or gasoline leaking onto a hot motor could cause a fire.
