Now if you drove a TD it would be even simpler, i.e., a large bottle 
stopper, a length of tubing and a squeeze bulb of the type that's found 
on blood pressure cuffs.  The tubing fits through the stopper and the 
bulb is attached to the tubing. The stopper is then placed in the filler 
neck of the fuel tank.  A few pumps of the squeeze bulb is all that it 
takes to provide enough fuel pressure to keep a TD running.

I can't take the credit for this.  It showed up as a Tech Tip in the 
NEMGTR journal a few years ago.
