Dear Mr. West, Thanks for your further letter this morning regarding the pump showing a discharge of 8 amp. The poor devil is trying to work against a brick wall as it is obvious that this will occur under these conditions. Why fit a petrol tap. In our opinion this is not at all necessary. Kind regards.
