And drill the third hole and add a can while you're at it.
And then go USE IT.
In for a penny in for a pound.
So, your gas tank should already have at least three. One to fill it with, one heading to the engine, one return line. Usually there will be at least one vacuum line directing vapors out through a charcoal canister.
Interestingly, gasoline is pretty hard to detonate, and in liquid form is surprisingly hard to burn. We've all see the demonstration where a lit match can actually be extinguished in the stuff, and witness the giant flaming rag needed for a molotov to be reliable.
There is one place where gas is always nicely vaporized for rapid combustion: inside of our actual car engines. Just need a spark there, and it all goes poof in a few milliseconds.
The practical upshot being that fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, and fuel injectors -- the latter fed with some suitable square wave to achieve an appropriate duty cycle -- form an effective and readily available and fuel aerosolization system.
I wonder if, with a little autistic ingenuity, we could mod these devices into Minecraft.
Most new cars actually have the fuel regulator inside the fuel tank. As such, there is only a single fuel line going from the fuel tank to the engine bay.
Oh, interesting. I think the last car I dropped a tank on to replace a pump was a 1996 ZJ... so I could be a couple decades out of date
Of course, any car I am likely to strip a fuel system out of for autistic garage adventures is likely of a similar age.
