| COPY. Y1588 To HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mr. Henevck from HL. Hll/AGS.10.31 Laboratory. Report No.L2240. RE : SAMPLE OF "ESSO" (FRENCH) MOTOR SPIRIT. SUBMITTED 3.10.31. This sample was large enough to enable us to carry out a distillation test. We give the figures below so that you may add them to previous results obtained in this fuel (see our report L2228). Initial boiling point = 33°C. Final " " = 183°C. Total Distillate = 96.5% Residue = 0.5% Loss on distillation = 3.0% Temperature °C. % Distillate. 65 11.0 75 20.5 100 54.5 125 73.5 150 86.5 175 94.5 HL. | ||
