Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}3/KT. 28.2.33. AUTOVACS. With reference to the choking up of the small conical gauze filter in the autovac, we will make some tests on our car at present running in France deleting the filter, and at the same time we will take the matter up with the Autovac Co. In the meantime we suggest that the precautions in cleaning the fuel line on new cars should be reviewed to ensure that they are effective. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
