Old gas in '78 Dodge van

Well, as is usually the case I was wrong and the tank is blocked up (I'm guessing it's the sock/pickup tube, and the gas smelled pretty bad, almost like lighter fluid mixed with vinegar). We ended up not having to replace the fuel pump but I might want to try something else because getting it towed is pretty much out of the question....

Would it be overly dangerous if we hooked up a long rubber fuel line to the inlet of the fuel pump and then ran it from a can of gas inside? I was thinking that as long as we closed the doghouse up as much as possible and drove the whole way with the windows cranked down it might be feasible to get it home on its own power. It runs fine otherwise (no misfiring, stumbling, etc. ) and would hate to have to spend more than what it's worth to have it towed some 60-odd miles.
