Dixon - Fuel Systems} Dear Mr. Dixon, Re the question of diaphragms, the new Neoprene type is coming out so extremely well that I anticipate we shall be standardising it on all our pumps in a very short period. This being the case I think it would be advisable for you to start really serious tests on it, as unless something unforseen happens to the new type it is definitely superior to that we are at present using, in fact, so far as we have gone it is absolutely 100%. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, | ||
