1955 doc must have known the gasoline was rare and could run out conceivably irrespective of the gas line getting severed. Why isn't he put a spare fuel cannister in? Then they'd have only had to fix the fuel line and fill it back up. Seems like a contingency plan, like even I have a spare can in my car and I'm not going to the wild west with no roads and plenty of petrol stations.
