That one with the gas can hanging outside the driver's door is an International Scout. The tube is going down to the tank selector valve. "Valve," you say? The 800 Scouts had twin 10 gal saddle tanks mounted in the body wall in front of the rear tires. There was a valve by the driver's seat floor to select L or R tank. If you were ripping along at say, 50 mph, and the motor started coughing you reached down and switched tanks. Then you flicked the gas gauge over to the other one. I miss my Scout.
