Abstract: The present invention relates to an intake-and-gauging device for the fuel in a motor vehicle, the device comprising a fixing base designed to be fixed on a wall of a fuel tank and carrying an intake assembly provided with a reserve receptacle and a gauging assembly, wherein the gauging assembly is slidably mounted in a generally vertical direction on the reserve receptacle and is resiliently urged towards the bottom of the relative to said receptacle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the limitation of the action of a manual choke by the recirculation of exhaust gases to the intake manifold is disclosed. A vacuum valve is located in a conduit connecting the intake and exhaust manifolds. The vacuum valve is activated by a vacuum transmitted through a conduit connected with the carburetor. The conduit is selectively opened by an electrovalve. The electrovalve receives a signal to open the conduit when the manual choke is activated and an engine temperature sensor indicates that the engine temperature has exceeded a predetermined value. A time delay circuit may delay the sending of the signal to the electrovalve.
