Re: [T3] How to keep motor running w/out gas tank

[king5zreo@juno.com]

Seems like a reasonable alternative to me. Stick one end of the hose into
the gas can, while the other is attached to the fuel pump. Don't know if
gas can would have to be below, level with or above the level of the fuel
pump...may not make any differance.
I would exercise caution while doing this due to the *open* fumes.
