I remember once going trials riding with some pals. We were travelling back up the A38 somewhere near Burton on Trent when the Sherpa van we were using conked out due to a failed fuel pump diaphragm. We ended up taking a fuel tank off one of the bikes and gravity feeding the Sherpa's carb with the bike tank strapped to the top of the engine. We had to stop several times to refill the tank as it only held a few litres, but it got us home to Rotherham. I have a Master's degree in bodging!
