With all the current problems with dirt in fuel tanks why not revert
back to an earlier solution. The Light Car and Cycle Car reported in
1918 that a 1914 Sporting Morgan and a 1915 Grand prix had both been
fitted with a gas bag. You have to admit that natural gas surely would
be cheaper than gasoline. Check the next issue of the GoMoG Newsletter
the Morganizer on the website www.gomog.com for a definitive explanation
on this solution.
Thanks
