Default RE: THE FIELD BOX FROM HELL! aka The Ultimate Field box!

Bit late jumping on the band wagon, but Lowes still has the master craft box and I started modding that.

I took apart my four year old portable power supply jump start system from Vector and bought myself a new one as a Christmas present...

The 20Ah sealed battery and the walmart one gallon fridge container from rubbermaid fit nicely in the bottom with no movement. A metal cap from Hoppes #9 cleaner http://www.shootnhunt.com/hoppes_semi-auto_solvent.html fits the spigot thread like a glove.

I bought the hobbico power panel http://www.hobbico.com/fieldequip/hcap0306.html and mounted it on the side.

I used spade connectors going to banana plugs so I have a 200W mains source in the field and extracted the charging circuit from the jump starter and mounted it in a project box from radio shack. I didn't think my field box needed a tire compressor although I did keep it.

Now onto the fuel setup. I am a noobie to glow and so am unsure on the fuel system path.

Is this right.

Fuel tank to pump to outside world for filling via a break point connected with fuel filter.
Fuel tank (above fuel line - mountedn in cap) to outside world, with connection so I can connect to other line to create a return path and also to create a closed system?

Pepboys and Sams club currently have a jump starter for $44 and $50 respectively. It has a 19/20Ah battery also.

Thanks for the ideas!
