The wrecker came back and chased the threads, and it got us down the mountain pass last night.
I called for fuel, and they showed up with 10 gal, for $60, told them to go fish, I had already unloaded the GL, bought two 5 gal cans, and made two trips. 20 gal of fuel for 50. Statefarm roadside ftw.
50 gal would have done me no good. I don't have any way to prime without disconnecting the secondary and forcing fuel in, and all my tools for that were locked in the bay against the barrier so I couldn't get to any of them. Plus. It's not something I would want to do 12" from the white line on I90, w/ people flying by at 70 mph. I used to get shot at for a living doing maintenance retrieval on c130s in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm good on risking my life while busting knuckles.
I will get the gasket replaced today, and replace all the missing fluids.
Thank you all for the experience and advice.
