Most likely would use a small propane bottle hooked to a burner torch that wasn't lit to keep it going until the gas pumped up from the tank. I've seen that done quite successfully since.

I have been quite struck by the number of people who watched this video that I thought was quite entertaining that seemed to see nothing but the faults in it and criticize them. Human nature, I guess. At least for some humans.
Well I think it`s fantastic to hear that old ford start up and run so nice. I also thoroughly enjoy reading your road trips on hear . Hope you keep us entertained. Thanks Brad
