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
