Can anyone tell me what this thing is? It is over 12 inches high and has
the name "Redex" on it. Could it be a soap dispenser or some kind of oil
pump? Please click on the attachment to see the pictures. Thanks guys. http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/bin/viewimage.x/00000000/trucks/redex1.JPG

RedXex is an additive "oil" that was pumped into the carburetor, or possibly directly into the cylinder head, in order to get rid off carbon and soot in the combustion chamber of an engine. I have seen pictures where the service men had a pump like this out on the pump island. I have also seen a type of Redex pump that sucks the oil out of a can and into the engine. Redex is mad in Britain. I have a couple of Redex tins and I'll send a picture to Jim to add to this post.
Hope this helps
