We think that we ought to endeavour to fix the petrol filter on the carburetter at the same time as we stand-ardise the tank with the side filler. It is unnecessary and extravagant to have two pieces to fill up the tank and two separate filters in the ank. Our present filter for the petrol is unnecessarily difficult to get at to examine and for that reason it often gets neglected.
