ily is an exception m the equipment of the modern car. Quite a number of quant'ity indicators ar e fitted on the fuel tank, but then the driver or other occupant of the car has got to get cut and walk to the rear of the vehicle to inspect the indicator. Although it gives the approximate amount 1 of petrol in the tank, there is no chance of really gauging 'the \3on'sump'|l|"ii as cue travtels, which is one of ,the main advantages of fuel indicators. Also, while many cars are fitted with a three-way tap, in order to keep a gallon or t'wo of fuel in reserve, this is of little use unless the gauge is in front 'of the driver, to warn him to open it on the reserve supply before the vacuum tank is empty. If the petrol gauge were supplied and fittcvl where it is most needed —in view of the driver—if would save considerable trouble at times and would also be an admirable check on the fuel pump.
