He held a fuel system valve patent? Was it like the Inky Valve that a Aussie makes that worked off a unused second magneto?

He designed a fuel shut off valve that was primarily for alky pulling trucks that he was into at the time but had drag application as well. Not sure of the particulars but I think it had something to do with enhancing fuel aeration.
