re Bentley Petrol Tank.

Referring to the last complaint in connection with the above, this was the difficulty of filling in the last two gallons into the tank, and extra port ways were added, as shewn in LeC.3528.

We should be glad to know if you have tested this so that if it is satisfactory this modification can be instructed.

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
