Here is a quick tip when setting the dwell on your Citroen Traction Avant 11B, the 11BL, or the 15/6. It also works on your Citroen D Model, both 3 main and 5 main bearing models.

It’s back…
OK, you have the D Model fuel tank back from Gas Tank Renu. You can see that they did a great job. The inside is red and the outside is black. Both are are patented coatings that are impervious to any of today’s reformulated, high alcohol based fuels.

And the previous owner might have driven the car around town a bit and that was the extent of “run on a regular basis”
