Automobile Gas Port Reamer, 1975
01
Artifact Overview
In the 1970s, clear air regulations required a phasing out of leaded gasoline. New vehicles had smaller fuel tank holes designed to accept unleaded gas nozzles. Drivers who disliked unleaded gas could enlarge the fuel tank hole with a tool like this, which would allow the leaded gas pumps' larger nozzles to fit.
