Willys Jeep Rescue: Wholly Smokes!! SHE RUNS!! Grumpy old Jeep Gets a Name!
What happens here
To prepare the auxiliary fuel tank, first, drill a small pilot hole on the side of the 1-gallon gasoline can. Then, use a larger drill bit to create a hole that allows the 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch brass pipe to tube adapter to be screwed in tightly, creating a secure, threaded connection. Apply thread sealant to ensure a leak-proof fit. Next, attach one end of the 1/4 inch fuel line to this adapter using a hose clamp. Insert the inline fuel filter into the fuel line, ensuring proper flow direction, and secure it with two small hose clamps. Finally, attach a fuel petcock valve to the other end of the fuel line with another hose clamp to control fuel flow. Affix the ceramic magnets to the side of the fuel can using Gorilla mounting tape, allowing it to be mounted onto the Jeep.
Goal: Construct a safe and functional temporary fuel tank for the Jeep.
