Not a bad idea but …
How do you know when it’s about to overflow?
What about the safety issue of an idling vehicle 10’ from
open fuel tank?

Hum-m-m-m. The typical injection pump and ¼” line would pump
less than 1 gpm.
But since I have a 36 gal tank on my van – it does get the
wheels turning in my mind.

my
friend burns auto gas in his luscombe. he tapped a 1/4" plastic hose
off his pickup truck's injected fuel return line. with the truck idling,
it pumps fuel to the high wing in maybe 10 minutes while he does his pre-flight
inspection. no safety issues with extra gas cans. (just possibility
of running out of gas on the way home!) kevin
