remove hood or tie down with somthing wedged under to protect fuel line. as
for gas can tieing it to the wipers works well. just watch the corners. I
can say form exp. that if you are in 4 low going over bumps the gas will
spill. wraping the can with a pice of polly works well ( glad kitchen
catchers didn't tho). I've coverd 150 miles of gravel in this unfortunate way

yes but most new ( 86 and up) have fuel injection at about 35 psi so be
careful what you take it from. most Jap imports used electric. ask at a
scrap yard should get one for $10 to $20. good idea to keep one with you on
long trips along with whatever you need to hook it up.
