Running generator on a hill
I need to run my generator for a few days and am parked on a hill (using as backup power for our house). Should I be nose up or nose down to maximize the amount of fuel I can pull from the tank with ...

Oh, and one more point: You cannot pull fuel from the generator pickup once the tank is at 1/4. Note the shorter pipe on the left side of the pump/sender assembly:
And a side comment: to those folks who argue about keeping a full tank in winter to keep the tank from rusting, I learned two things when I undertook this project:
1) The tank and associated bits are all stainless - there's nothing to rust.
2) A full tank is about 4ish inches below the top of the tank due to the design of the fill tube. The tank must have head space for expansion.
