Extended Run gas system for EU6500/EF6300
Aside from the Pinellas Power Products option, is there an "easy" setup for an extended run system for either the EU6500 or EF6300 generators? I'm only finding systems for the EU1000/EU2000.

Pinellas power makes some nice stuff, I looked at their remote start for an EU2000, very creative. Unfortunately they are not inexpensive.
The 2000 kits kits work because the fuel tank vents through the cap. The vent is replaced by the feed from the aux tank, so that as the internal tank drains it draws more fuel through the vent connection to the external tank instead of drawing air, thereby keeping the internal tank full.
I see the 6000 doesn't have the same vented cap, but you could make a similar connection to an external tank by drilling a hole in the cap and attaching a fuel feed in a similar fashion as the smaller gen sets. The only difference would be that you would need to find out where the stock tank is vented and close off that vent so that the tank would vent through the external tank connection and draw in additional fuel instead of air. Sounds like a good off-season project!
