Abstract
THE tractor-fuel situation has become complicated and somewhat chaotic because of the conflicting points of view held by the various groups concerned with the problem.
Mr. Colwell performs here a very necessary function, because he presents each of these viewpoints - that of the engineers, the petroleum industry, the farmers, and the states - in clear and succinct language.
He then suggests a program that is designed to bring order out of this now very muddled situation. He recommends that:
-
1.
CRC complete its survey of the fuels now being marketed.
-
2.
CRC determine promptly the technical requirements of tractor-engine fuel.
-
3.
A determined attempt be made to coordinate state specifications and taxes through the North American Gasoline Tax Conference.
-
4.
Tractor companies agree among themselves on classifications or specifications, and their number.
-
5.
These specifications or classifications then be coordinated with the petroleum industry through the ASTM.
