With this type of heater, this occur- rence is very rare since the burner is placed back under the house where the wind cannot reach it. Should the flame by any accident be extin- guished and the bur- ner become cool and ,. , Fig. 7Q-—Framework of r 00^ shed oj colony house. SO waste gasolme mto / / / ^ the burner box, the control valve should be closed as soon as it is dis- covered and the gasoline allowed to evaporate entirely before any attempt is made to relight the burner. As an extra precaution a basin may be placed outside under the drip to prevent waste and also to avoid gasoline filtering into the soil. A tin flashing should be placed above and below the burner box on the back side of the house as an extra precaution against fire. Should any difficulty be experienced in getting a large enough flame to maintain the proper temperature under the hover during cold weather, the burner should be examined for stoppage. It sometimes happens that little particles of sediment in the gasoline clog the opening (o) at the needle end of the control valve. (Fig. 67.) This can be remedied by closing the control valve and forcing the point of the needle through the opening in the valve seat (Fig. 6"]^. This will clear away any obstruc- tion that might be there. It might be difficult to get a sufficiently large blaze because the opening above referred to is too small. This may be remedied by opening the control valve so that the point of the needle will be back out of the way and then
