Abstract: An oil reservoir for the supply of oil to an internal combustion engine, the reservoir 50 having an upwardly open filler passage 53 to receive a neck portion 64 of an oil container 64. The reservoir filler passage 53 being closed by a wall 54 spaced inwardly from the open end thereof and an opening 56 is provided in said filler passage wall 54 located to inhibit direct communication between the filler passage 53 and the interior of the reservoir 50. The filler passage 53 is adapted to sealably engage the container neck 65 upon the container neck 65 being inserted into the filler passage 53 a pre-determined extent, and to puncture a closure wall 70 of the container neck 65 after said sealed engagement is established to permit oil to flow from the container 64 through said opening 56 in the filler passage wall 54 into the reservoir 50.

Abstract: A fuel metering apparatus having a metering chamber to hold fuel for subsequent delivery to an engine and a rigid metering member projecting into said chamber and linearly movable relative to the chamber to vary the extent of projection of the metering member into the chamber to thereby control the quantity of fuel displaceable from the chamber for delivery to an engine. An inextensible flexible member between secured to the metering member and to a motor that operate in accordance with the engine fuel demand, the motion of the motor being transmitted to the metering member through the inextensible flexible member. This inextensible flexible member preferably being adjustably coupled to the motor so the limit of movement of the metering member may be set as required.
