Hi everybody, I'm not sure if this should go here, or in motors, but I'll give this a shot. Here's my deal, I have a new 3.5 Horse Briggs and stratton gas engine. I am going to be using it to run a pump jack on a well to pump water into a large livestock water tank in a pasture. Now I am planning on starting the engine and letting it pump water till the gas runs out, my problem is that the engine will run out of gas long before the tank is full. I would have to re-fill the gas tank several times in order to get the water tank full. I do not want to have to do this, as the tank is a few miles from my house and I am busy with other things. So I am wondering if this will work. A neighbor mentioned to me that I could mount a jug or some other type of container above the engine and run a line down from the jug and into the top of the gas tank on the engine. This sounds great, but then he commented that it doesnt work on all engines as it might flood out the carberator since the carberator is mounted above the gas tank. So my question to you fellow TFP'ers is will this work on a briggs and stratton? or is there some other way of rigging a larger gas tank to this thing?? Thanks for your help

Justin.
