Fuel System

From the 1930 Chrysler Imperial 8 Instruction Book

Draining the crankcase and cleaning the oil pan, then the fuel system. It covers the rear-mounted tank, the combined gas-oil gauge, and the camshaft-driven fuel pump and filter. For the plain-tube dual downdraft carburetor it explains idle mixture screws, throttle stop and throttle synchronizing screws, and seasonal accelerating pump settings. It also covers the air cleaner, crankcase ventilation and the manifold heat control.
