In automobile engines, these deposits of lend and carbon steal power two ways: In combustion chambers lliey pet so hot they set off the fuel mixture prematurely.

The explosion hits the piston "on the rise" before it reaches the proper firing position. This means power wasted, not used. The name for this is pre-ignition, and it happens most often when more power is actually needed in passing or climbing a hill. The second way these deposits steal power is by short-circuiling the spark plugs. The plugs misfire, especially with the engine accelerating or pulling hard.

And when an engine isn't hitting on nil cylinders, naturally gasoline and power are being wasted. Now you can get tint power back And get it by the time you've used two tunkfulsof gasoline. You do this by using Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP. With your first gallon, TCP additive starts to break through the power barrier set up by lead and carbon deposits. It "fireproofs" the hot spots in combustion chambers, preventing pre-ignition.

Power, works for you again! It changes the deposits on spark plugs so they no longer short-circuit. You get a full spark again the plug fires every time. Your engine smooths out and the fuel pays off in power. To keep your engine tuned as only TCP additive can do it, buy Shell Premium Gasoline with TCP when you Oil your tank.
