ou are no doubt aware of our continuing use of your "Autol-Desolite" Diesel Fuel dditive, and we now feel that after nearly a year's use of this product our confidence it has been justified.
During this period, we have had no trouble at all with injectors and from every ppearance the intervals between top overhauls are going to be greatly prolonged, /lost of our diesel engined lorries are too new to be able to get a comparison with preAutol-Desolite" operation; one however, an old 1954 Albion Chieftain, is now ,perating at 17.5 m.p.g, which compares with a previous best of 17 m.p.g. It has run :s last 60.000 miles without even an injector change being necessary.
Our current E.R.F. lorries with 5 cylinder Gardner Engines are running at an all up veight of 14 tons on a fuel consumption which works out at an average of 15.5 m.p.g. —this, we consider to be very good, as in our case, it includes stationary running when he sack loaders are in use,
As well as these satisfactory figures of operation, we are quite confident that the use )t. "Autol-Desolite" will prolong the operating life of the injection pumps, by the notection it gives against corrosion, and the improvement in lubrication of the moving ,arts. Mr. A.
