Gas Tank: "Detagco" Reserve Valve
Digged up an accessory I haven't seen discussed here. It's supposed to be screwed into the tank between the sediment bulb and the tank. Switched in the regular position the valve flows from the higher pipe about 1 1/2" up in the tank. When you get symptoms of fuel starvation you can switch to the other position and still have some gas to get to the nearest gas station. You just have to remember to switch it back after filling up
I didn't remember once when I had an early VW.. Had to walk to the nearest farmer and buy some chain saw fuel. Odd the switch was patented july 13 1909 - the encyclopedia says Ford only had screwed in sediment bulbs in early 09, then went to riveted in sediment bulbs until 1911.
