Jim: I pump mine from the car gas tank, using the car's electric fuel pump. Have a value on top of the intake, connect a hose with a shut off on both ends. Then a ground from the battery to the plane and start the pump. You can run the pump by running the engine or track down the test circuit for the pump on the computer and toggle it to run the pump without the engine. My car holds 18 gal, so I can get full tanks from a car tank - I never run the coupe dry (All the gas in the world is useless, if it's in the ground). A friend used my basic design. His van has twin tanks. He added a fuel pump to one tank and uses it just for high test, runs his van off the other. This gives a higher flow rate. I plan on adding a twin tank, with a slump and filtered line, to my pickup. Jack
