Unless the reservuir is several hundred feet up, the pressure won't be
adequate. He will need a pump, and likely some sort of regulator. a
simple pop-off would be adequate and simple.


True. IIRC GM fuel injectors run at about 45 PSI. Any lower, and the
spray pattern will be poor. Another IIRC, disc type injectors have a
wider spray pattern. Using a pintle type will provide a narrower
pattern. If you can get injectors from a GM throttle body, they operate
on about 12 to 14 PSI.

And flow a LOT more.
