BY14/G16.6.36 We note that Ethyl is recommended by the Experimental Department, and we are not objecting to this point, as we know we have been recommending it in instances before. The point I meant to make clear is that the wording of the insert for the Instruction Book might lead owners to think that we recommend Ethyl in preference to anything else, whereas we really only want to say that we have no objection to the use of Ethyl. We do want to keep it clear that generally speaking the car will run quite satisfactorily on standard No.1. petrol. C. | ||
