Been a while, but here goes. I have a lot rat Samurai that has run great til now. As the floor is all rotted out, it is easy to get to the fuel tank and check things out. Pump is dead. Now for the fun part. If I pour a little gas into the air cleaner tubing, the thing starts right up and runs well until the few tablespoons of gas are used up. So the question is - will a boat tank hookup with a pressure ball be enough to run the vehicle at all the 10 or maybe 15 mph out in the woods? I keep in 4 low and occasionally get to 2nd gear. With chains on all 4 your teeth tend to rattle above that level of use.

So while the fuel injection system reportedly needs a high pressure infeed, I am not sure if that is true for low rpm and speed use. Has anyone done this?

Suggestions please.
