I use a large (2 litre) plastic lemonade bottle.  Get the labels off,
put in 900ml of water, and mark the level with an indelible felt tip
pen.

Disconnect the fuel feed line in the engine bay and connect a hose that
drops into the bottle.  Jumper +12v into the fuel pump relay socket -
the large slot parallel to the side of the fuse box.

The minimum delivery rate (I _think_ the 5k is the same) is 30 seconds
to the 900ml line in the bottle.
