In the old miners lamps the carbide was not put into water. The carbide and water have to be seperated in two different chambers and the water added slowly via a drip system to control the amount of gas produced. I collect those old carbide miners lamps and have about 40 of them. About half work. I assume that the lights in those old cars work the same or you would produce more gas than you can use. Never really thought about it. Have to do a little research.
