Burns Attorney, Agent, or Firm—Wm. Jacquet Gribble (s7] ABSTRACT ‘A carburetor with two fuel bowis and floats has a dou- ble-ended needle valve operative between the exit ports of both bowls directly between the bowls and the Venturi jet of the carburetor such that the different grade fuels in the two fuel bowls are alternately sup- plied to the venturi jet and thence to the motor under the control of a valve actuator. The valve actuator is responsive to the engine manifold vacuum level such that high grade fuel is dispensed to the carburetor under low manifold vacuum conditions and low grade fuel is dispensed to the carburetor under high mani- fold vacuum conditions. Various fuel bypass and vac- ‘uum bypass lines are provided in the carburetor and to a dashboard control panel such that the engine may ‘operate exclusively on either fuel, 2 Claims, 8 Drawing FiguresPATENTED APR 23 1974 3,805,756 SHEET 1 OF 4 153 a, e 04 LS M3 a 9. 80. 93. 3 \ 79. 06. 9 46 5. ‘95s 400 é 87.
