RN petrol taps

[Tony Griffiths]

I opened the outlet up to 1/4" which gives a much better flow. I suppose an hours work with a Dremel and it could pass for an original.

I wonder what the maximum flow needs to be? Could it be 10 m.p.g. at 20 m.p.h. climbing a steep hill? That would use 2 gallons an hour; 1 gallon in 30 minutes; 1/2 gallon in 15 minutes; 1/4 gallon in 7.5 minutes; 1/8 gallon (1 pint) in 3 minutes 15 seconds (see how human-friendly the imperial system is!).
