The reviews indicate it can fuel a lot of things. https://www.amazon.com/Airtex-E8016S-Universal-Electric-Fuel/dp/B000C1LW0EAs an aside, if you left your tank in the bed of your truck you might not need a pump.

Extended run or transfer tank?Transfer uses electric pump.Extended run uses a impulse pump (vacuum) Check out the Yamaha ext run kit, parts are likely the same for your genny.

Don't know about today's generators but old models with charger taps offered uncontrolled rotor field power in the 16+ volt range. Methinks if things haven't changed any pump connected to such a connection is going to have a short, unhappy, but exciting life. Something to check before getting too involved.
