Back on the farm we had an old International dump truck with a huge 6 cyl gas engine and a Stromberg updraft carb. One day my dad and I were bringing in a load of corn silage when the fuel pump just quit a couple miles from home. My dad got an oil bottle, filled it with gas, punched a hole in the top and put me on the fender with my leg hooked on the mirror support. He showed me how to slowly pour the gas into the carburetor. We made it home, dumped the load, and then drove to the shop where we switched out the fuel pump.
