temporary fuel tank

unused 1 gallon paint can, with handle

3 feet of 1/4" rubber fuel line 2 hose clamps for 1/4 " line 1 short length of 1/4" steel fuel or brake line. 1 tire valve {has rubber washers and threaded shank}

I drilled a hole in the bottom center of the paint can big enough to accept the tire valve. Put tire valve {core removed} through bottom
of paint can with valve stem facing down. Secure valve with rubber washers and nut that came with the valve. attach rubber hose to tire valve and secure with i hose clamp. take the 1/4 " steel line cut it in half {tubing cutter preferred} push it into rubber hose and attach with hose clamp. The 1/4" steel line has a nut which is the same thread as most inlets on sediment bowls for 8n, 9n, etc. Viola !! u now can fill the paint can with fuel with the hood and gas tank removed. I used this setup when i was making final vlave lash adjustments on my '56 Ford 600. So much easier than trying to do it with the tank on and working by feel. Be careful that you don't start a fire. I hung the can by the handle from the steering wheel on my tractor. total cost was about $16.00, using all new parts. To shut the fuel off if you don't want to run your can empty, just use locking pliers and pinch the rubber fuel line.
