Not very common at all. Common on motorbikes with no fuel gauge, though.

ISTR the early Beetle had a switch on the floor. But then it didnt have a fuel gauge

And the Triumph Herald had one in the boot I think


It had a pickup pipe that either sucked from about 50 mm from the bottom
or 10 mm from the bottom when you moved the lever.

There was a good chance the pipe would get blocked or suck water when
you used it.
