One day, I'll look at the fuel gauge, which reads permanently empty.

Does it have a "reserve" setting on the tank? My Triumph Vitesse
(Herald) did, together with a manual priming lever on the fuel pump.

Don't think Travellers ever had them. Different shape tank to a Vitesse,
too. I only remember seeing them on Heralds and Vitesses.

Don't think the tank shape matters. Just two pipes drawing from different
levels, and a changeover valve.


Was the Triumph one that sophisticated? I thought it was just a higher
section in the tank that when you operated the lever it just drained that
into the main tank, normally when filling this compartment was already full
and just overflowed into the main section..
