Out of Gas 4 wheelin

[jljbtm]

So i almost ran out of gas in my atv 4 wheeler which cut my trip a little short.

Anyway after loading up and on my way home i started to think if there is a way other than siphoning from my truck tank to refill my little 4 wheeler? Like a way to run a hose from where? like the fuel rail on the manifold or "T" of of the fuel pump. Mmmmm my truck could be a little refueling station (heck i have a 38gal. tank) so all u would have to do is run a hose to the atv tank then turn on the key!

I'm open to ideas! anyone?

Thx. for listening, Jack

Modifying the fuel system is a bad idea. And the fuel pump won't put out the kind of volume you're wanting.

It's called a jerrycan or gas can.

Should even fit in your truck bed.

This is a much easier, safer and cheaper idea than to try to tap into your own fuel system.

I personally think its kind of a cool idea haha but i dont know if it would be worth it or what it would require. I think ill stick with a gas can too

Eh gas can - jerry can that's so 19th. Century today we have electric fuel pumps

All those toy hauler trailers that are running around the country use a small electric pump to pump fuel from either a dedicated tank, or a shared generator/fueling tank. Wouldn't be too difficult to add one to a pickup, but I wouldn't mess with the trucks fuel system at all. Maybe there's room to add a separate pick up tube in your fuel tank? Leave the pickup tube so it will only draw fuel down to about half a tank and you won't ever have to tow your truck home with your quad ...

 

Then again, you could buy several Jerry cans, and the fuel in them, for the cost and trouble it would take to add this to your truck.

 

There's also what's called a shaker siphon. It's a clear hose with a metal bearing valve on one end. Drop the metal end down the tank and shake it up and down until the fuel starts to run. These are $10 bucks at the Harbor Freight.
