I asked my luscombe friend and he says the 20'
1/4" line pumps 1.5 - 2.0 gals /min using is ford ranger p/u at idle. he
keeps it coiled under the hood and has had no problems in several years of
use. there is a "T" and shut-off valve at the base of the hose. I
agree that he should be grounding it. I suppose the liquid in the hose
grounds it to the truck (if he submerges the hose), but neither vehicle is
grounded to the earth (sorry, redundant). still, a much safer system
than cans of fuel.

airport when I had to slam the brakes and got hit with the hand truck I was
carrying in back)
