Honda 2000 Extended Fuel Tank

[Boss Hogg]

I have a Honda 2000, and I recently purchased the 6 gallon extended fuel gas tank. It doesn't have a primer bulb in the fuel line on the extra tank. It seems to me that this would be necessary to get the gas started to the generator. Also, what if the generator gas tank is empty and the extended tank is connected to the empty generator. Will it suck the gas from the extra tank, or will the tank on the generator have to be filled first?

It seems like a heck of a good setup. But I haven't used it yet. Thanks

With the kit you've bought or made, the cap on the generator is now non-vented which in turn "pulls" the gas from the 6 gallon accessory tank because of the vacuum. I'm not sure how an empty tank on the generator would work. Use whatever gas you have in the accessory tank to fill the generator and it will work fine.

Thanks for the reply. I think I have a handle on it now.

It also helps start the flow of fuel from axl tank to the gen. tank if the fuel level in the axl. tank is higher than the cap on the tank of the gen.
