Had a 72 Toyota Land Crusier I had put a 327 small block in when I was a young man living in Bishop Ca. One day I took it up Silver Canyon to the top of the White Mtns in the Bristlecone forest and my electric fuel pump went out. Now what to do? My buddy and I took the radiator overflow reservoir off and duct taped it to the top of the windshield frame and ran a piece of fuel line down to the carb. Had to stop quite a few times and siphon gas out of the tank to refill the bottle but got it home and I ran it that way for a few days untill I could afford another pump.
Had the same thing happen about 5 years ago on a hunting trip with my Yamaha Rhino and did the same trick with a water bottle and a brass fitting screwed into the cap to get back to camp about 15 miles away.
