    Be careful going that route. Alot of pump motors arent meant for pumping gas and can cause a fire if they are used to pump fuel. All motors arc, the only reason a fuel pump motor doesnt make the vapors explode is cause theres no oxygen in the fuel tank. You need heat, fuel and air. If youre missing one it wont burn.



    Just be super careful and get a pump thats meant for pumping fuel. And always do the gas last. Iv made that mistake once and only once. Forgot to torch something, Figured i was far enough away from where i drained the gas (gas was well out of sight, just some spillage on the floor) used the torch up front, thought i was ok cause gas tank was way at the back. Sparks bounced and boy did that dog bark. WOOF. up she went. Luckly it was in our shop on the concrete floor and It was small enough to just burn itself out in a short period of time.

    Needless to say that was my very first car ever scrapped and the last time it happened. See, we all make bonehead mistakes
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...
