It has been stated that some of the Gisborne motorists who obtain petrol supplies at the local bowsers are careless in the matter of draining the hose, and that as much as a pint of benzine has been found in it afterwards. On the occasion of a visit of the inspector of weights and measures to a bowser, he was rather surprised to find after a farmer had taken a fill that not a drop of the fluid could be drained out. He mentioned this fact to an attendant, who remarked: "You'll never find a drop after a dairy farmer has been at it, because he knows the ■ last thing about stripping.''
