It is noted from BY/EM4/J.15.12.33. that there is no necessity to obtain further supplies of Special Fuel to Specification No.224 with 3 cc's T.E.L. per gallon added, and that leaded Fuel to Specification No.230 may be used in place thereof. We are arranging accordingly. Messrs. Shell-Mex & B.P. Limited point out that they have 17 barrels, i.e. approximately 850 gallons of the D.T.D.224 plus 3 cc's T.E.L. fuel made up in anticipation of our requirements which they cannot dispose of elsewhere. We understand from BY/EM. that we may take this fuel off their hands and are arranging accordingly. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} [Signature] | ||
