Heading: The Firestone Syrup Tank

Text: Also standing on the floor in close proximity to the source pressure cylinder was a Firestone stainless steel tank with a two-and-one-half gallon soft-drink syrup capacity. The hose connecting the syrup tank and the regulator was five feet long. The syrup tank was designed to receive a Firestone lid oval in shape and about three and one-half by five inches in size which had to be inserted at an angle into the top of the tank, then made parallel to the top of the tank and raised upward by a clamp. The escape of air was prevented by a rubber O-ring attached to the lid. This tank could also accommodate a Cornelius lid which is slightly different in size and shape from the Firestone lid. With either lid in place, the tank could be pressurized.
