CHASSIS - NEW PETROL PUMP AND TWIN CARBURETTER COMBINATION. On LeC.2806 a pipe is shown going to a reserve tank. The present Autovac tank is obviously too low relative to the new carburetter position, and we would therefore like to have a scheme from you showing exactly what is proposed, both in regard to size and position of the reserve tank referred to. This matter is urgent as the carburetters are practically completed in the Works. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
