Detail of the fuel (alcohol) fill/drain valve, visible behind the braces added for display purposes. (Additional views of a Redstone fuel fill/drain valve.)

The flange with one side which has been cut off to provide clearance for the support post is the the fuel suction line (through which the alcohol tank was also filled and drained).

This view was taken through the steam vent.
