I wasn't suggesting running the generator off of the tank, just making it so a small amount could be pulled out and put into the generators tank.
So I will repeat this, since I think it is the only safe and sane way to do it:
Get a small gasoline safe transfer pump, either electric or manual.
Put the supply hose down into the main tank. Put the output hose into the genny tank. Pump.
Ok. I thought there was stuff to prevent me doing that.
I actually do have a 12v pump that says it is ok for gas. I had planned to use it from gas can to genny, but I like your method better! Will try it out.
FYI all, my van is newer but I can avoid pumping gas into genny tank while van engine is running. That sounds scary anyway.
I appreciate y'all's patience with this gas engine newbie.
