Two blocks away from my house, my car died. It felt like I ran out of gas, but according to the fuel gauge, I had some in the car, although not much. I walked home, jumped in my daily driver, went and got gas, and poured it in the tank. The engine would run with fuel poured down the carb, but would not stay running. That made it obvious that the problem was with fuel. I grabbed the rubber fuel supply hose to the pump only to find that the pump had cracked off. I hated to call a tow truck to Tow the car two blocks. I went back home and took a 1 gallon plastic, gasoline, can and I attached fuel line to the air vent And then attached the other end of the hose to the inlet of the gas filter. By blowing into the spout of the gas, can I was able to fill the gas filter and carb bowl. I had to fill the filter two more times, but I got it home.
