re Bentley Petrol Filters.
Please receive herewith:-
LeC.4993 showing two petrol filters bolted to the second crossmember.
This scheme can be used on existing cars which cannot be fitted with a green warning light for the petrol reserve.
With this scheme the cock on the dashboard will be unchanged except for a petrol pipe running from it to the petrol pump. The drawing of this pipe is in hand.
E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}
LeC.4993 herewith.
