Summary:

In the choice of a fuel the following factors msut be considered: (1) its composition; (2) the quantity available; (3) the price per heat unit; and (4) the possibility of keeping stocks in aerial ports both at home and abroad. It is also important to know if the change from one fuel to another will necessitate any serious modification of the engine. With the present universal scarcity of gasoline, the day will certainly come when heavier fuel will have to be considered.
