Savings of 75 per cent in fuel costs have been realize<l wich & Sons lumber mill at Provo, Utah, by converting saw engines from gasoline to liquefied petroleum,

NATTIONAL FORES]T PRODUG]TS WEEK

by the Prestrrrill's

A family operation, the mill produces approximately 2,000,000 feet ol lumber per year, most of which is consumed by pacific States Castiron Pipe, near Provo, and Newpark Mining Company, near Heber, Utah.

Prestwich started the business 17 years ago and since then has taken in three of his sons, Eugene, Wallace and Edward, as partners. Two other sons, Earl and Max, are school teachers but spend their sunlrrrer vacations bringing in timber from nearby mountains to keep the mill su,pplied.

Prestwich uses war surplus Continental tank engines to power the big rotary saws. F'or several years, the engines were fueled with gasoline at an operating cost of $12 for 45 gallons of fuel daily. Morc recently, he converted to LP-gas and cut costs to three dollars for 16 gallons consumed daily.

LP-gas is the same fuel used on farms, in suburban homes and in smali towns across the nation for modern gas appliances in the home and as combustion fuel for tractors and other farm and industrial vehicles.

In addition to the fuel savings, Prestvvich said his oil consumption "is almost zero," with oil being changed once every two or threc nronths. Prior to conversion, the engines required an oil change of five gallons each seven or eight days, or a difference of more than 200 gallons ove,r a period of a year.

Total combined savings of fuel and oil run approximately $2,500 per year.

"In addition to fewer oil changes, you add a good deal less oil with LP-gas than with gasoline," Prestwich said. "The reason is that there's nothing in LP to dirty the oil; so the entire engine stays cleaner."
