THE NEW PETROL Now 83 high octane petrol is in the BP pumps there’ll be new motoring experiences ahead. This new petrol makes its possible to advance the ignition closer to manufacturers’ recommended settings. With the previous grade of petrol nearly all motorists with modern cars had spark settings retarded so as to overcome “knocking.” Now, with BP 83 octane petrol in your tank you’ll get power and ■economy that was previously wasted. But first, certain adjustments should be made to your engine. The most important is the ignition change. It only costs a few shillings but makes all the difference. Other recommended services are to have the carburettor checked and set correctly for BP 83 octane, spark plugs cleaned and re-gapped or replaced if they’ve been in use for over 10,000 miles and —compression checked. If necessary the engine should be decarbonised. There’s many a treat in store motoring with BP 83 octane petrol. See your BP garage or service station about making the most of BP 83 Octane Petrol. —Advt.
