I'm trying to build an extended run fuel system for my Champion Digital Hybrid (Model #100302), but can't find the replacement gas cap.

Anyone have any links to one?

Contact Champion they have part to repair tier stuff, my manual even gives the part numbers.

Thanks for the link ... Mine is the Champion digital Hybrid 4000/3500 and uses a different cap than the 3400/3100. Might have to drill and tap the existing cap ...

That's what I ended up doing. The cap is passively vented, so I had to run a bead of silicone around the inner lip so it would create a suction to pull gas from the auxiliary tank. Fired it up and ran it a couple of hours... enough to determine that it was successfully pulling gas from the Aux tank and not just running on what was in the generator tank.

Where does the power come from for a pump?

From the generator, maybe? It has a 120v and a 12v outlet.

Nobody makes a correct replacement cap that I'm aware of
How ever SuperGen used to sell a kit for champion generators, came with a vacuum operate pump,, connecting hoses, nipple etc,
A diy install, I put one on a 3500
CAT5 inverter generator, worked fine as long as both were on the same level ground, my champ was on a sliding compartment tray/drawer so I would put the extension tank/can on a snack table or chair next to the genny, sorry don't have a link, using my phone not my laptop

Thanks! Kind of what I'm finding...

I built a system for my Honda 2200 and it works great ... Parts were readily available on line!

Drill and tap the existing cap for a nylon threaded fitting, add a hose and another gas can but keep the bottom of the can higher than the genny. Conversely, you could add a pulse fuel pump and run from a marine porta tank.
