Mark Gregush Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Early Dodge Brothers used an air pressure fuel system. Don't think my 1914-1927 master parts books shows what brand they would have used, but that looks to be about the range. Might also post it in that section down below.

1912Staver Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Not just sporty cars, even such work horses like Packard truck used gauges like this. Initially the hand pump on the dash built up pressure to start the engine, then that connection was closed off and a small air pump drove off the camshaft to pressurize the gas tank for running.
