Fuel container support system for a combustion engine

An improved fuel container support system for a combustion engine comprising:

• a combustion engine;
• a generally rectangular tubular skid frame structure surrounding said engine, said tubular skid frame structure having a pair of spaced open-ended tubular rail members fixed thereto in horizontal position above said combustion engine;
• a shelf member including a vertical end plate having a pair of spaced tubular slide bars normally mounted thereto at one end thereof with the opposite ends of said tubular slide bars telescopically engaging with said pair of open-ended tubular rail members for sliding telescopic movement therein, to move the shelf from a first position above said engine to a cantilevered position away from said engine, said end plates having a support bracket including spaced parallel strap members cantilevered normally therefrom between said pair of tubular slide bars and having a right angle cradle strap mounted therebetween to receive during combustion engine operation a nesting bottom corner of a generally rectangular portable fuel container at the apex of said right angle to support said container at an angular position with respect to the horizontal with said nesting corner being the lowest corner of a container for gravity flow of fuel thereto;
• a fuel line connectible to an upper inlet of the container, said fuel line having a primary manual fuel flow pump to start fluid flow and a diaphragm fuel pump disposed therein to conduct fuel from the container to the combustion engine, said fuel pump being driven on the compression vacuum cycle of said engine.
