Careful with that.... Using muffler pressure on a gasoline engine makes me nervous. One spark or piece of glowing carbon gets to the fumes in the gas tank and boom! If you want to use a glow carb, better to use a pump such as a Perry, or maybe one made from a Walbro carb like we discussed before.

I may be wrong...but a piece of glowing carbon would be hard to travel through a line that has oil reside in it and the line would be kinda long, because main tank would be on center of gravity. A simple little in-line fuel could be there to to stop whatever. So far in all the years that similar set-ups have not caused any blow-up problems. Capt,n
