I would use a tygon hose and a quart jar of gas, then run the engine until you use up 1/2 quart of gas, then multiply the minutes times 8 and you'll know how long it will run on a gallon of gas. This would be good to know if you had to run the engine for heat while stuck in a snowbank. I got stuck in a blizzard in South Dakota with my Corvair, but after 30 minutes I had to walk a half mile to my uncle's farm house because the Corvair heat was poor when the temp was below about 10 degrees. After that my hands freeze up very quickly when I go outside in the winter, even with gloves on.

A Model A with a manifold or hot water heater would have provided much better heat.
