Bentley Petrol Tank.
------------------

We send you herewith LeC.3528 showing an alteration to the baffles of the tank.

What we have done is to increase by 100% the size of the holes in the top of the baffles to overcome the difficulty of filling the last two gallons of fuel.

The holes in the bottom of the baffle are unaltered so that the petrol pump suction will not be affected.
