My 1990 mitusbshi montero is only used to plow my driveway. The gas tank and gas lines rusted out. I want to run an external fuel pump to a gas can, what would u reccomend."
My father did this same conversion to his old Jeep, a long time ago. lol He created a mount that he could use to secure the gas can to the rear, exterior. He ran a fuel line from the gas can and ran it underneath, along the frame. He bought a 17PSI, in-line, fuel pump and connected it between the new fuel line and the old existing one (going to the engine). If your vehicle has a "Fuel Return Line" that will need to be spliced into the new fuel-line. This type of repair isn't considered to be safe or legal and would not be pass a state inspection. As a mechanic I would recommend fixing it the right way. If your set on installing a gas can. Please think it through. Location, materials used, how hoses are run and secured, is very important. An exposed gas can can create a hazard, if struck or crushed. I hope that helps, good luck.
