SMITHS 12V Electric Fuel Pick Up Switching Valve & Illuminated Switch

Has 2 different Lengths of nylon pick-up tubes that go down into the gas tank
When there is no electrical signal on the valve it picks up fuel through both tubes.
When the fuel level gets down to the first (or the shorter) fuel supply tube, the engine will falter or stall.
The 12V supply switch is turned on, and the engine will get an extra gallon or so of gas in order to drive to the gas station.
When 12 volts is supplied to the Valve, it switches to pick up fuel using only the longer tube at the bottom of the tank.
Comes with the correct illuminated switch- Bulb in center of knob lights up when in "Reserve Mode"
The old VW's, and Porsches used a mechanical valve that was turned with a rod that switched to the "lower straw" for some fuel reserve.
COBRA? DAMLIER? BENTLY? MG?
Removed from a 12Volt English car from the 60's or 70's

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

By Ollie Kew First Official Pictures 11 January 2014 23:00 This is the new Audi Allroad Shooting Brake Concept car, which will be unveiled in the metal at the Detroit motor show this week. But don’t be caught out by this red herring – Audi isn’t about to put a high-riding two-door estate into production as the next TT. Instead, this Allroad Shooting Brake is a smorgasbord of new Audi cues, hinting at everything from the new TT’s minimalist dashboard (which we saw revealed on CAR Online last week), to the styling direction of soon-to-be-replace models like the existing TT, A4, and Q7.
