Hi

I have some and use them. Tend to use a large syringe with the plunger pulled out as a fuel reservior.

Make sure you blank off the vacuum line to the fuel tap.

All the best

I use the original tank but with an extra long fuel line and the tap set to prime.

Do you have a twin or quad gauge? What make?

4 dial gauge set up,made by a company called Trident..had some excellent reviews of them,BIT pricey at just over a ton.

If you want to spend a bit more money you could get one of these auxiliary fuel tanks

I know I have said it before some where but don't put the choke on while
the gauge is connected.It can mess up the gauge and it will be useless.
