60ch Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have two of these and I can find no information as to what cars used them. They are both Model 39A tanks. I have never seen this type of vacuum tank before. Can anyone shed some light on these for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Commodore Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It looks like to me that these tanks were never used by a OEM, just aftermarket. See link a description of operation.http://books.google.com/books?id=HFLmAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA500&lpg=PA500&dq=Byrne-Kingston++tank&source=bl&ots=VgIgvkgIWO&sig=NzuqhzlKmFC6IC6Sqa_oLYUTkBY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8rNNVKfaHozwoASW3IHgAQ&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=Byrne-Kingston%20%20tank&f=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
