Compre- hensive testing of such cor- rosion inhibitors was under- taken by municipal govern- Neglecting your ear's body costs rnents both in the U.

The only test- ing by a disinterested au- thority was just completed by the University of Mani- toba over a two-year period. As previously found, the body rusting was exactly the same with or without the inhibitor. "How to Start" Pamphlet, Free Sure starting all winter is the goal of every car owner.

Every few seconds, some- one is injured by .a car — and in the time it takes for a coffee break, someone dies on the highway! The,Nation- al Safety Council points out that faulty vehicles contrib- ute -to at least 10% of high- way accidents , . . and rust is often the chief villain. But many problems caused by rust can be detected and corrected ahead of time. Know how? Experts at Zie- bart Process Corporation have answered this list of common questions from car owners: 1. I keep my car in a heat- ed garage in winter, yet I have more trouble with rust than ever. Why is this? A heated garage can actually increase rusting by as much as 300%. According to a Uni- versity of Manitoba survey, ice on the car melts and be- comes water, the electrolyte that completes the electro- chemical circuit necessary for rusting. No! No-Rust Areas 2. Are there any areas in the U. S. or Canada where because of climate there is no rust problem? There is no area where rust is not a problem. It is less in arid areas because moisture must be present for rusting to take place. 3, Does frequent washing and waxing prevent rust? Car care helps, but unless the interior boxed-in areas of the car, where 88% of all rusting starts, are protected, rust can still eat holes in your car and your pocket- book. The rustproofing seal- ant must be sprayed at high pressure through strategical- ly located holes. 4. What is the major safe- ty problem caused by auto rust? Brake failure. Accord- ing to the Lincoln Technical Institute of Detroit, this con- dition is a direct result of en- vironmental conditions such as salt and moisture on our streets. Major fleet operators say that 40% of their brake lines are rust damaged after two years of service. The LTI people further recommend that car owners protect their car and their life with a rust preventive process. 5. What about air pollu- tion? Is there really enough contamination in our air to cause vehicle rusting? This is the finding of extensive in- vestigation of rusting just undertaken by the Canadian Province of Ontario. In some industrial areas tons of sul- fur dioxide gas are put into the air every minute. This is true of residential and com- mercial areas, too, Since sul- fur dioxide plus rain water results in sulfurous and sul-
