I oc : Dr. R. A. Kehoe '*r. A. L. cales . Detroit Dr. Georee Galingasrt Detroit Use of ETHYL Gasoline In Stoves and Lamps Lay 15, 1946 Prior to the war the manufacturers of gasoline stoves and lames were recommending areinst the use of Ethyl Gasoline. Low that the army has adapted several units to satisfactory operation on high ly leaded fuels, there will be a natural tendency, especially on the part of returned soldiers, to use leaded gasoline in those appliances. This will be further strengthened if, as 1 believe, some of the manu- facturera advertise that their equipment operates as well on leaded ' fuels as on clear i'uels. Dr. Kehoe feels that we should concern our selves with this situation. As a preliminar;/ step, I wonder whether your roup could obtain an overall picture of the present situation. As I see it, what we would like to know is about as follows t 1. Alist of the manufacturers making, let us say, at least 75% of the gasoline burning appliances other than engines, suoh as camp stoves, lanterns, space heaters. 2. Descriptive literature covering their equipment and particularly information as to whether or not claims are made that the equipment operates satisfactorily on leaded gasoline. 5. Actual samples of those appliances which are said to operate on loaded fuels. /% s/ / G/eorge Cali. ert V K0 0009585
