Coverley - Production Engineer} E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}3/HC.10.9.35. re Bentley Petrol Pump and Filter. We have made schemes moving the petrol pump and filter from under the bonnet to under the rear seat, the petrol pump being fixed to the side of the battery box, the filter being fixed to the rear of the third crossmember. We send you herewith LeC.4670 showing the complete designs and the run of the petrol pipes, and wiring. Also herewith LeC.4678 showing a simplified petrol pipe on the dashboard which connects with the carburetters. For the petrol reserve a green warning light will be fitted with the damped float mechanism in the petrol tank. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
