| 1282 N/W {London Repair Depot / Derby Works} - Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} Exp: Dept. Br3/H.5.6.39. Re: Rexol. We have had an enquiry from a customer as to the advisability of using the above preparation in the petrol tank. When we claimed that we had no knowledge of this product, the customer stated that he had been told by Rexol Products Ltd., that five gallons of this preparation had been sent to Derby to be tried out experimentally. If this is true, will you be good enough to let us have your remarks, so that we can communicate with the customer, who appears to be extremely anxious to use it if it has any virtues. Br | ||
