So basically, the Q is:
How practical is using the vehicle's fuel pump as a transfer pump? Even
for, say, giving a stranded motorist a cupla gallons, without having to lug
a gas can around?


Given the complexity of today's computerize fuel injection systems and
integrated emissions controls, I'd hesitate to tap into a fuel line.
In theory, it sounds simple, but it may not work out that way.
