We are enclosing copies of an expanded version of our report on "Engine Durability Studies in Laboratory Engines and Field. Tests with ^ ml TEL." The principal changes in this report, from the one circulated at our meeting on April 17, occur in our discussion of the effect of TEL con centration on gasoline storage stability* We have added the results obtaine with a third fuel to the tobies showing the effect of time on the formation of gum and sediment; and have extended these tables to show date obtained at 0 and 2 ml TEL per gallon as well as at 3 and 4 ml* We also have made same minor numerical corrections in the section discussing the males-up of-the fleet used in our field test of b ml TEL per gallon*
Following our meeting on the seventeenth, Mr. Blair said that he would be willing tocirculate to the participants any additional in formation which we might wish to submit* We would appreciate it if he would now send out copies of our expanded report, suggesting that those holding copies of the original report discard them and replace with the later version* The cooperation of your office in handling this matter is much appreciated.
It was a pleasure to meet you and to have the opportunity of partici pating in the discussion of lead alkyl usage in Federal specification gasolines.
Very truly yours,
