Reply To: A special Milemaster Pressure Tank??

OK..I did some more investigating… Inside the baffle (which I think is more of a reservoir now), has a mechanism that opens and closes the opening port. I’m really thinking the reservoir which has a volume of about a quart serves for oil measuring.

So this is what I think were the procedures…with an empty tank:
1. close the port in the reservoir
2. fill with oil until the filled as indicated by the metal tag (which probably had a cork float) has risen to the top of reservoir
3. open the reservoir port
4. fill the tank with gasoline
5. rock tank to mix thoroughly

There must have been some type of handle to open and close the port easily. It’s rather awkward using a hooked rod that I fashioned. Probably frustrating with full oil reservoir ???

Well, this is what I think now….definitely thinking factory and not homemade.
