You can run it in a barrel, just don't run it dry out of the water, it will make short work of the impellor

Boss, Put in into a large garbage can and fill it up to the brim. Keep the hose running into the can as water will be spilled. Be careful if you put it into gear.

BTW - That motor never had any gauges, except perhaps a ammeter and maybe a tach. You only really need a fuel gauge with that fat fifty!

I was thinking that engine had a hot light by then, it did not.
