This percautionary measure is fine, and we encourage it, but tho] “twenty per cent of the motorist who earry their containers filles with gasoline..are the ones we are worried about. We know you realize this was mostly brought about by the onergy crisis, but as gasoline . becomes more scarce, and if the government puts a rationing progran into effect those figures could doublo, even triple. Imagine what a fire hazzard one spark could cause in case of an accident, or if a container was'nt securely closed, it could literally send millions cf - automobiles into raging flames. -Millions of automobiles will become moving fire bombs. For these reasons, we urge you to take steps as mena soon as possible to equipt all your new models (autos and pickups especially) with reserve gasoline tanks, We feel this is a cheap price to pay to save Lives. | ce! nbc networks cbs “ % - ‘abe : general motors ford motors - ; american motors : chrysler’: - . 2 0) Sie
