Evinrude outboard motors and. its parent company . Outboard . Marine Corporation. All outboard motors produced by the company will be drain-free in all models by mid- — summer. This will eliminate any spillage of fuel or oil. It is the first outboard manufacturer to offer its com- plete lines of motors:— ranging from 2 horsepower. to 125 HP — without overboard fuel drains. In ‘announcing. the en- breakthrough, which will be: a. tremendous factor. in cutting .down. the pollution of waterways with fuel a. cornpany._ official summarized it as follows: First,. we made. use - of ‘technology acquired over a period of years to make. the largest. outboards drainless by means of a straight-in, downhill, induction system, and extended this to all motors of 50 HP and up. Second, we tidied-up the. historically messy two-cycle engine by completely sealing the crankeases. on. all of our out- boards to prevent oil or fuel leaks. Third, we solved the remaining problems to make the small engines drainless by the use of a patented fuel drainage re-cycling and injection system. Charles D.° Strang, OMC’s” group vice-president for ‘Tnarine “The - "drainless has enabled OMC to alleviate the “concern of the beating public for: introduction of fuels and oils into — the world’s waterways.” According to Strang, OMC’s "marine: engineering staff began - development of the drainless engine ’’several years. ago. He “reported that the first drain-free ‘motors were featured as stan-——. dard equipment only. on the ~ largest. units. in those: product . lines. Now the drainless. engine % ae technology ‘is. being applied | across. the full line of outboards. - Howard F. Larson, OMC’s vice: ». president of ‘environmental . faf- _fairs, “announced the company’ s ‘drainless with: outboard ‘engine ‘Manufacturers throughout the. : world, 00. 8. technical ‘knowledge | -on the. subject. of making © engines abating. all. forms’ of. water pollution, regardless of how minimal, is reflected in our. technical development of these drain-free' engines for. our complete lines of Evinrude motors. ‘““We feel so strongly about this achievement, and the ‘clean water benefits it will bring to boating, that we hereby extend to all outboard engine producers a royalty-free licence to use any or all of the patents, issued and pending, that apply to the fuel recirculation. system — for drainless engines,’’ Larson said. Technical aspects of the new lines: of drainless engines: was “presented -by S.L. Metcalf, OMC’s director engineering. . “He said the engines are air of marine . breathers and the action starts in systems” “technology we are announcing - “Our: ‘corporate ‘concern. ‘for : the carburetor where fuel is - mixed with incoming air and proportioned for optimum. combustion. He stressed that ‘only . the amount of fuel to be burned is supplied. ‘‘The trick is to keep this outboard fuel in suspension and vaporized throughout. the engine cycles.” This is accomplished by in- troducing the mixed charge through the engines reed valves - - compressing this charge in a completely sealed crankcase — and lastly, by transferring it into the cylinder through | the scavenging system. Once inside the cylinder, with its ports .closed, there is no escape for the fuel, and since it has: maintained its vaporized state, it will be burned in the engine with naneed:. to drain any of .it overboard. -Emphasizing the company’s concern. for - fuel Metcalf said that his . marine engineering. staff had con- centrated on eliminating any form. of fuel ‘‘puddling”’ anywhere in the engine, whether in the carburetor, manifold or crankcase. drainage, is amazingly windproof—and — . gives the right height of flame . refuel with the exclusive mon ~ Ronson: Multifill.
