I carry a gallon of water in an antifreeze bottle. If I need gas, I pour out
the water........

In my V8 Healey, I have an aux 3 gal gas tank: plastic made for dragsters. I
have a 2 tank solenoid from a Ford truck with a switch on the dash to change
tanks.
I keep racing fuel in the 3 gal tank for SPECIAL OCCASIONS (like a 5.0
Mustang)!
www.summitracing.com has a great selection of plastic fuel cells!
