Great thought, but instead of it pulling 35 feet from the tank its now pulling it less than 2 feet. Problem also happened with fresh gas from the tank.
No,
electric fuel pumps are placed inside tanks or below the tank especially in high performance applications
Your pump would do better being level pulling 35' than trying to pull 2' from below.
I doubt they would put a gas tank 35' away
Why are you using a separate tank?
This is how it is set up in my toyhauler. THe Genset is under the front bedroom, the tank is in the very back under the garage. 41 foot toyhauler. Unless there are 2 fuel pumps, we just replaced the one at the genset thinking that could be the problem. It was not. It now appears it was the spark arrestor.
