[SEL] Need Info on Stover YB Engine

[Patrick M Livingstone]

The cast base is the fuel tank and the engine acts as the lid. Some other
manufacturers had cast bases with tin fuel tanks inside them but their bases
are usually bottomless (like IHC & F-M). The Stover uses the cast base as
the tank. The same base fits both the YB & YC engines.

A friend of mine has a Stover YB 4 HP engine and he has asked me if the gas
tanks on the Stover YB engines are tin gas tanks. I don't know the answer so
if someone does please let me know and I will pass on the information to
him. I would have thought they would have been a cast iron gas tank in the
sub-base like my Model C.

Thanks,

Paul
