CONH DES TEAL
Although Test No. 13 showed that failures do not depend upon residual
deposits of the additive in the fuel system, it is of importance to note that
such deposits are present even after the fuel tank is drained and refilled.
During the between-test driving after completion of Test No. 13 a failure
occurred at about 100 miles while another complete failure occurred 842
miles after completion of the final No. 14 test. This latter failure was
during the course of performing the following series of crankcase additive
tests and could have resulted from no additive except that used during Test
No. 14 since a new fuel tank was installed for this test and the fuel line was
flushed with Bendex solvent prior to start of the test, Also, the quantity
of additive used was only ,F the prescribed amount which did not give an
immediate failure. && ( ? . o 7' 61, -7' 7`?T'e / o e7`..?c ca.. )
Because of the apparent stability of this additive in a fuel tank and its ef-
fectiveness in moderate concentrations, it seems that it would be an ex-
cellent substance for treating large storage tanks for the purpose of effect-
ing a general harassing of the enemy. Because of the subtle nature of the
failures the source of the trouble would be very difficult to detect.
As a whole, this additive produces very successful results and is undoubt-
edly worthy of further development.
