Abstract
The invention includes a fuel tank containing an emergency supply of fuel for an internal combustion engine in the general proximity of the engine, with the arrangement being such that proper communication from this alternate source of fuel directly to the air-fuel mixer of the engine is effected. The preferred example of the air-fuel mixer is a carburetor. In this way, by utilizing a reliable arrangement for the delivery of fuel directly to the carburetor, a temporary problem with the primary fuel supply can be circumvented.
