With Autorama less than a month away, and my Cougar stored with a full tank of gas, the strictly enforced requirement of 1/4 tank or less of gas in the vehicle during the show was becoming a problem. Rather than trying to burn off gas doing circles around Cobo in what is sure to be crappy weather, I decided to create a gas transfer device out of an old fuel pump, 10ft of hose, and a quick fuel line disconnect. Now all I have to do is disconnect the fuel filter and plug in my pump to get out the gas. After the initial hookup and having run the line to my pickup, it only took 30 minutes to drain my Cougar to 1/4 tank and almost completely fill my pickup. Handy not only for car shows, but also when the power is out and my generator runs out of gas, since the whole thing runs off my motorcycle battery. Yet another step complete in surviving the coming zombie apocalypse.
