You know we love these vintage engineering films. Previously, we've showed you classic films explaining engine lubrication, cooling systems, your car's suspension, and an open differential. This week, we're digging a film that's not quite so in depth, but it's just a ton of fun.

This one takes you through the life of a single, smiling, dancing droplet of gasoline, from the gas station, through the fuel tank, into the fuel filter, down into the carburetor, and eventually out the tailpipe as a tiny little gasoline ghost. Poor fella.

This 1935 film, as you may have guessed, is a Jam Handy production. Handy, a master of educational films, produced jaunty little mini-movies like this for Chevrolet for many years. This one demonstrates the state-of-the-art in 1935 fuel delivery systems.

It's a bit outdated today—you probably don't have a glass bowl fuel filter under your hood unless you're a certified badass—but it's a fun one. Look at that little gasoline guy go!
