Subject
A booster. This device includes a pump that draws gasoline from a car's tank to an intermediate tank that feeds the engine by gravity and a fuel gauge. This system had the advantage of limiting fire risks.

Description:
A character dressed in 18th-century fashion, wearing a head enhancer as a hat and holding a fuel gauge in hand, looks at the fuel level with some concern. There is a real contrast between the character and the modernity of the equipment.
