Anyone have a link or the correct search terms. I tried "honda external tank", "honda extended run tank", "honda tank" and probably five other combinations and I can find it.

That's what I'm thinking of when I say Jerry can.

I used a jerry can no problem. I modified the screw on cap with a 1/4" bulkhead fitting. I installed a marine quik connect on the outside of it and 1/4" copper tube siphon on the inside using a 1/4" compression fitting. I also drilled a hole in the side of the can and intalled an air compressor bleeder valve I open when the genny is hooked up.
Excellent, thanks.

Camp, Forrest, Camp! wrote:Yes you can. The only issue is the large opening of the Jerry can allows an exceptional amount of vapor to escape. If you modified the Jerry can cap, you could put a small vent. The boat gas cans (boat fuel tanks) have a very small valve for venting.
Everyone uses the boat gas cans, but I don't like the form factor.
Could one use the standard metal Jerry can with a siphon extending down to the bottom of the can?
I am going from a boat fuel tank to a NATO type gas can. I could simply drop the siphon tubing down the filler neck, but prefer to have a sealed system, with a small vent when needed. I also want the option of using the Honda/NATO can while going down the highway. Without a small vent, gas would probably splash all over the back of the TC.

If you are going to run the genset longer than the original tank your neighbors are going to hate you
Seriously though, are you familiar with the EU2000? The air conditioner makes more noise.
I dunno. My neighbor's EU2000 was really bellowing when its mate ran out of gas and the A/C compressor kicked in.

I am going to replace my Boat fuel tank (3-gallon) with a 2-1/2-gallon NATO type fuel can. I have to make an adapter for the NATO can.

who said this person was going to be camping anywhere near anyone else the guy simply asked for a link for some help so that he could run his generator I don't understand what is up with you people in this forum there's always a negative naysayer giving someone a hard time sorry if that hurt your feelings but deal with it
I don't think 805gregg was intending to be rude. He/she is just looking out for their fellow campers.
