Try a Maserati Mistral--closest thing I know of to a Molotov with a
motor. Twin tanks with a rubber tube crossover that just pushes onto a
spigot at the bottom of the tank. Several times I returned to the parked
car to find gas running from the back and a trunk full of gasoline.
Maybe I shouldn't be saying this--I'm going to sell the thing on EBay
sooner or later--it's been rotting in my storage building for years.
