I take it you are talking about an electric fuel pump. If so the generator doesn't use/need an electric fuel pump and it may harm the fuel pump on the generator. Sounds like the generator is getting fuel from this pump or the fuel line is coupled into the fuel line after the electric pump. If so just move the generator fuel line to before the electric fuel pump.
You can have a fuel nipple put on the fuel tank for the generator but finding a shop to do it may be a problem. If you tap into the MH fuel line before the fuel pump remember that you can suck the fuel tank dry; most pick ups for generators are tapped into the fuel tank in a way that when the generator runs out of fuel you will have some where between a 1/3 to 1/4 tank of fuel left so you can make it to a gas station. If the generator was factory installed the generator fuel line should be coming off the tank. You may want to check the tank and see if there is a plug on the side of the tank, this plug is where you would put a nipple in place of the plug then hook the generator fuel line to it.
