A NEW FUEL
ABLUE tinted petrol is being put on the market by the British Petroleum. Co., Ltd., which, while having characteristics that meet with the exacting needs of the modern high compression engine will sell at the normal price.
The new fuel is known as ” B.P.” Plus and it contains the only known material produced commercially that can adequately cope with the highest of compression ratios-a compound of lead.
” B.P.” Plus will shortly be obtainable from all ” B.P.” pumps, and motorists, especially those whose engines are inclined to pink are advised to give it a trial.
