| W/S. To Bgs. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X53 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG16.7.26. BENZOL MIXTURE. X53 With reference to your Bgs10/EH15.7.26 attached. As far as we know we do not make any definite recommendations as regards fuels to be used on our cars. We endeavour to make our cars so that they will run satisfactorily on all the well-known distributed fuels. We have never raised any objection to customers using the National Benzol Mixture. Our experience with it is that it is equally as satisfactory as the best of the other well known fuels. We think it would be unwise to recommend any certain brand of fuel because our cars are expected to perform in all countries equally satisfactory on the fuel available. National Benzol Mixture cannot be obtained outside Great Britain. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
