Correct position for Daimler Ferret Fuel-Cock


Chris Preston

Recommended Posts

Greetings All,

 

We finally have our museum's Ferret cooperating with us and almost road-ready. The transmission and brake issues are being resolved and we hope to have the vehicle operational and in the annual Victoria May Day Parade on May 19th.

 

One reamaining question I have is what is the correct "Run" position for the fuel-cock mounted next to the fuel filter on the rear bulk-head of the Fighting Compartment? Is the "Run" or "Main" (tank) position counter-clockwise, to the left, or turned clockwise to the right. I can't find any indication stamped anywhere near the fuel-cock, or any mention of the correct position in any of the manuals I have.

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Chris Preston,

Victoria, BC,

Hi. Have a look at this site (among others of course) for lots of useful info, including the dreaded 'fuel tap position'.

 

There was a long running debate on the yahoo ferret group about which side was the main and which was the reserve side.

 

Hopefully this pic will help out.
