Luberhill Just put a "T" fitting inline after the generator fuel pump then put a shut off in the T to a lenght of clear fuel line.
If by "clear fuel line" you mean the vinyl tubing that they sell in hardware stores, that is not rated as "fuel line". It will work, but it will likely not have a very long life.
The only "clear" fuel rate flexible hose I know of is Tygon. It is not really clear, but rather a see through yellow.
Neither of these flexible hoses are rated for "pressure", that is, to be mounted after a fuel pump. If there is no restriction at the end (i.e. it is dumping into a tank with no valve), you can get away with it. The short piece of line from your T to the shut off should be normal, low pressure, neoprene automotive fuel line.
Splicing into a high pressure fuel line that is feeding a fuel injector is NOT a good idea !
