How would you store a mildly used electric fuel pump?

I used to have a 1950 Ford tractor that worked that way. Gas tank set
over the engine, copper line with a stopcock right to the carb. Worked
great!

The Lumina tank wasn't under the trunk, but the back seat. Same with
my Grand Am. Think the FWD cars use "contoured" tanks, and get more
trunk space that way. Both those tanks were contoured and unlike the
pillow shaped tanks aft of the axle in RWD cars.
So you would cut through the floor under the rear seat.
But pulling the tank might happen only once in the life of a car
anyway, so I won't be cutting holes.

I think on vaccum carbs lots of lattitude to do this, plus that self
regulating gas float valve on the carb.

but the injectors need 40 PSI across them, BUT could hook up the spair tire
air on the roof with a valve and hose to a pressurized gasoline can and have
tube come out the bottom to the fuel rail.

=> NO FUEL PUMP TO STORE in Grandma's WD40 again.

You'll get more redneck cred using an empty beer keg for the air
pressure tank.
