You will get a bunch of gravity feed spillage if you are not prepared with
something of the right diameter.. I think it's 5/16. Ask me hoe I know?
I would recommend that you install a fuel shut off valve in the rubber tubing
just before the short input pipe to the fuel pump. cut the tubing and shove in
the valve in the off osition. You will be doing this again and it makes it
easier next time.
I used the plactic valve (black body and magenta knob) that is used on garden
tracters and snowblwers
I also shut off this valve when the car is left for a while. It cuts down on
the gasoline smell that you get from the fuel pump because there isn't the
weight of 10 gallans of gas on the fuel pump diaphram. It is also a mild
security deterent when parking the car in a strange place. It only runs for
about 100 feet before quiting.
