Default Re: Headlights & tailights - pre 1915

For the type of use these cars get today it is wise to clean the waste & remaining carbide out after every use. It also is good to drain the water. A major problem in the days of regular use was that people let the waste build up & then damaged the brass tank when chipping the waste out. The water tanks will crack if frozen as well.


A 100+ year old generator, ready to produce acetylene, parked in a trailer or garage has the potential to create a disaster.
