Why not mount the gen ABOVE the tanks?
Would be a whole lot easier to deal with..
Not to mention your gen is going to EAT those tanks alive..
You typically will have two 20 lb, or two 30 lb tanks.. Your gen will empty one of those tanks in 8-10 hrs of use easily.

Seems to me that perhaps you NEED to rethink your idea?
