Bailey - Chief Engineer} EH1/LG22.7.19. X.3701. RE PETROL FILTERS. 40/50 HP. CHASSIS x.2768. A We find that/large percentage of cars which come in for repairs have the gauze petrol filter broken - the gauze having rotted. Our Repair Dept: in Paris have also pointed out this trouble. It appears as though these gauze filters should be replaced on all cars every two years. We think also we might consider fitting a petrol filter which is more accessible than the present one. EH. | ||
