One guy was selling a late 90s F150. The fuel tank leaked and they could never find the leak and get it repaired. So he pulled the fuel line and it sits in a 5 gallon gas can in the bed of the truck. If you buy the truck, the gas can is included. I'm sure it wouldn't pass one of those "safeties" though. It must be gravity fed. :B
