Neglecting proper maintenance of a car's
brakes can cause added expense later and, -
at the same time, lead to a possibly
dangerous stopping situation. When a car
has been slowed and stopped many
thousands of times, the
linings r disc pads
will wear. This happensso
the car owner may not recognize any
change until it's too late.
You should check your owner's manual
for the recommended service interval or get �(
a brake inspection at least once each year,
particularlyif you do a lot of city driving
(which is especially hard on brake parts).

Check the brake fluid level as outlined in
your manual. If the fluid is low, you should
have it checked by a qualified technician as
soon as possible.
Driving habits affect the life of car brakes
more than any other factor. Unless you need
to make a sudden stop as a safety measure,
avoid slamming on the brakes. Try to an-
ticipate stops, not only to save the brakes
but to reduce tire wear as well.
Riding the brakes when driving can result .
in premature wear of brake linings. It's also
an unsafe practice because cars following
you soon start ignoring the repeated glow of
your brake lights.

tional Markets and distribution systems
— pX ran ,owered vehicle users benefit from
`s6-, cshMe i;: Pi . fi t_
vincial government incentives in Ontario,
and competitive pricing compared, with
gasoline in Alberta and British Columbia.
The natural gas distribution system is more
urban oriented and growth of natural gas as
.a vehicle fuel is most rapid in large urban
areas where a network of fueling stations is
established.
Natural gas conversions are always to
dual fuels, leaving the gasoline system in,
tact, so that when natural gas is not
available, the operator can simply use
gasoline. -Most propane -powered vehicles
are dedicated propane -only systems.
Vehicles are converted to propane or
natural gas by the addition of one or more
tanks to store the gas and equipment to
meter the fuel into the engine. For an
automobile or light truck, a propane conver-
sion typically costs $1500; a natural gas con-
version would cost about $2200.
Cost savings are the prime motivator for
converting to natural gas or propane. Both
can be much less expensive than gasoline or
diesel fuel A propane or natural gas system

The annual kilometres driven and the gate
of fuel consumption determine how quickly
conversion costs will be paid back. Fre-
quently used, high -consumption vehicles
will recover the cost of conversion quickly.
It is best to talk to a conversion specialist
about your specific situation, as this is the
only way to be sure that conversion will be
economical.
Black Top Cabs Ltd. of Vancouver cou
verted 128 vehicles to dual -fuel natural gas.
and gasoline. The transition was rapid and,
within four months, 90 per cent of the fuel
being used by the cabs was natural gas. The
company monitored its vehicles after the
change was made and found that the net
capital costs of the conversions were fully
recovered within the first year of operation,
and each, cab was saving almost $600 per
month in fuel costs.
Both propane and natural gas are clean -
burning fuels, producing few exhaust emis-
sions, particularly carbon monoxide and
is a good investment if the vehicle is driven hydrocarbons.
