My Pete rebuild

Anyone know
1 - how many gpm these flow? Not sure if I can run from a 5 gallon bucket, or if I'd be better off pulling from a 55 gallon drum?

2- all I have is off road fuel on hand - all that will be left is whatever fills the filters and head, and lines, there shouldn't be more than a couple gallons of it in the system once I'm done - any clue if that would be enough to stain 100 gallons of fresh fuel?

1-Using the electric primer pump to prime the system, a 5 gallon pail will be fine. And if you're gonna crank, it will still be fine. If it fires, don't leave it run very long.
2-No, you'll be fine. Once you fill your truck, even with only dual 100 gal tanks, you'd be lucky to have 100:1 clear to dyed fuel. If it is noticable, it won't be the second time you fuel...but it shouldn't be anyway.
