Subject
A booster. This device includes a pump that draws gasoline from a car's tank to an intermediate tank that supplies 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 an exhaust pipe as a hat on their head and holding a fuel hose used like a rifle. Very humorously, this rifle kills the fuel pump typically used in engines.
There is a real contrast between the character and the modernity of the equipment.
This overly excessive poster will be toned down in the mockup.
