Re: [VAC] Pressure Water System
In the "Good Old Days" we often used a manual tire pump to pressurize. Also
could do it when we gassed up at the service station. The cap had a valve
stem on it. My first 58/59 was built to operate on no electric, period.
Electric could be used if available but never had to worry about a dead
battery. Had a gas light, very efficient for both light and heat, just
don't use it in hot weather. The original owner told me that if you tied a
silk scarf over the bulb on the light that the`mantle would not break. Just
take it off when you light up!! Worked well for us.
