I fill te bucket, (porvide it is uncut)then put 5-8 gal in the tank and let it sit for 15-20 mins. Before putting power to it. Last thing you want to do is start it in a dry or low fuel condition.

the tank is about half full. if i leave it over night or for a couple of days with the bucket fill? the reason why im asking is i made that mistake and put the tank back up. i didnt do the trap mod because i didnt want to cut the skin nor did i have a dremel tool. it was a f*cking b*tch dropping and installing that tank half full by myself... is there any other way to go about NOT damaging the new pump(filling the bucket), please let me know...
