Vintage fuel analyzer

[threeputt]

While cleaning my 56 year old shop I found this neat thing. It is a fuel analyzer made in the USA by Algas. Our shop worked on lots of propane trucks and I assume we had this to check the fuel/air mixture.



To my knowledge this is the fist time I have seen this as it was hidden away in the back of an old workbench. Still looks new.

I think I would have remembered using this as I worked on many propane systems myself back in the 70's and 80's. Maybe my brother or dad bought this when I was in the military in the 1960's. They both passed away many years ago .

Not sure what I am going to do with it. I cannot find any information on the internet on this old tool.

Looks like the operator manual is there. Might find some info in that.

If you decide to part with it, let me know.

I will let you know if I decide to part with it. I need to test it to make sure it works. I am sure it does but like I mentioned I have no clue how long this thing was hidden under the work bench.

My brother passed away 41 years ago and the bench I took apart last week was the one he used to work on. My memory could have failed me and I was the one who put it there but again it has been years ago.

It looks like it was never used but when I test it I will know more. Tom

Thanks.
I'm working on a high performance motor that will eventually use propane. I have some old manuals on propane conversion and think the tool you have would really help with the propane carburetor set-up. I'm in no rush as this is an on-going project that waits on funds a lot....lol.
