| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X4704 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}10/KW.25.1.34. Vulture Petrol Tank. -------------------- It has been reported that when filling up the above tank, petrol spills from the breather pipe. According to N.Sch.3903 a baffle should be fitted to the filler to prevent the petrol from coming out. Will you please ascertain whilst the car is in the shop whether or no this baffle has been fitted, and if not, will you please fit one immediately. This point is queried as the baffle to the filler was an addition after the first design was issued. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
