I had to do pretty much the same thing once in a snow-storm in an old diesel Landcruiser. It just started sputtering and died on a country backroad.

Luckily I knew straight away what the problem was as I had to fix a different section of rusted out fuel line about a month previous. Even the smallest hole lets in too much air and throws the whole injection out causing stalls, poor running, no running etc. I had a pretty short piece of fuel hose in the back and a plastic gas can so just ran the hose from the motor to the can and placed it on the top of the manifold. Luckily Diesel isn't quite as flammable as gas and it was winter.

Then of course there's a bunch of 240's out there with 2 healthy fuel pumps...and some limping around with only one. Heck, I was about 1200 miles from home, in Alabama when one of mine went. With enough tweaking and bypassing she took me home again with one but not really gracefully.

It's amazing how many parts seem superflous at times. Sometimes a rubber band is good enough...maybe not forever but for the moment of desperation perfectly acceptable.

Happy Holidays
