Well you can replace the cap with another they sell and add an "Extended run" tank to the Hondas.. In fact, if you wanted to it's techincally possible to use a 5 or larger gallon fuel supply.
Far as I know only HONDA can suck gas out of a can.
Nope... The champion can also be set up to do the same (sell the kits on Flea-Bay).
My little Champ (2000 watt) has a double fuel shutoff, one on the cap and another on the front panel. I keep it inside the RV with no smell whatsoever.
The Honda has a vacuum operated fuel pump that works off crankcase pressure differential, the same one can be added to the Champ with the same results.
The preferred method is using an outboard motor gas tank. Much safer.
Never heard of adding a fuel pump to a champion.
Let alone a Honda pump.
