1968 BRONCO GOES TO THE CRUSHER?? OR...WILL IT RUN??

What happens here

Recognizing a fuel delivery problem, the presenter decides to bypass the original fuel tank. He fills a small, aftermarket gas can with a flexible spout (which he strongly recommends over government-mandated 'spill-proof' ones). He then disconnects the fuel line from the electric fuel pump (which is in the engine bay) that normally draws from the main tank. He demonstrates a risky method of siphoning fuel by mouth to ensure fuel flow, and then places the disconnected fuel line into the small gas can, allowing the electric pump to draw directly from this temporary source.

Goal: Bypass the main fuel tank to resolve a potential fuel delivery issue.
