over South Dakota you can smell the cows.)
Quite true about the 'Diluter/demand' system. There's also a
selector on that valve which selects between diluter and 100%. We
usually used the 100% pos'n to 'clear the head' on those early
morning blues kind of days...t'was likely as not that the
benefits of this were 'all in yer head' too.
But...whatever turned yer crank I guess.
