Extended Run Generator setup

Probably should preface this topic to indicate we will use this set up with Honda 2000I generators in a Motorcycle Racing event off grid camping where noise isn't likely to bother any neighbors in the middle of the summer in Alabama so AC needed day and night.

So, we need recommendations for a kit or setup that will hookup to both generators pulling from an external fuel tank to give longer run times than refilling both generators after a few hours.
  • i don't know about both from one tank, they might fight each other for fuel? guess you can try 2-on-1, and if it dont work, just need another tank...

    the honda has a fuel pump in it, a vacuum impulse pump, so it's weak but better than nothing. either plumb a quick connect into the fuel line (inside the case), or get a replacement gas cap that has a quick connect on it. get an outboard fuel tank with quick connect hose, plug it in, prime it up and you're done.

    repeat for the second generator.
