Do any of you remember the gadget that you screwed into an engine in place of the spark plug? You'd snap an air hose on it and that one cylinder would pump air (and fumes) for emergency use. There had to be a check valve built into it (I think).

Every morning we'd remove one plug from the slant six engine in his Dodge pickup, and screw this thing in the plug hole. He'd pump that tire full of gasoline fumes and I'd head out to mow. I always figured I'd run for dear life if the old tractor caught fire. The thing might have been home made, been too many years for me to remember, but the idea didn't catch on. That was the only one I've ever seen.
