I am trying to find information and photos of a Dewrance **** used in fuel
systems. They appear to be used in 1920-30s.

Bob,
Am looking at Demon and Wapiti at the moment,I was unaware it was not a
universal fitting…something dictated by the type of power plant perhaps.
It may have a scale or dial in the cockpit.
Over to those that know.
Regards Mike
Hi Mike
Do you have a type number ?, as I believe that the Dewrance types come in different sizes etc, like the Vickers ones do.
Is it 2 or 3 way ?.
What size & type of threads on the inlet & outlets ?.

Do you know which type of Dewrance male hen you need ?, as there were several different types/sizes, & were used on various aircraft during WW1 onwards.:D

All one has to do is substitute a ‘zero’ for the ‘o’ thus -c0ck

For those baffled I would assume that the auto censored word, in the context of valves and fuel systems is a synonym for ‘male hen’ or ‘chaps naughty bits’.
Sincere apologies, the auto censor is nothing to do with the moderation team.
And if you want to discuss the functioning of the forum, please do it in general discussion, not here.
