Yamaha EF1000iS Fuel Tank Conversion
Hi all, I’ve recently purchased an Okanagan 811SL TC and love it, but we all know the storage constraints that come with a TC. Hence the reason I purchased a small Yamaha EF1000iS generator, which works awesome for boondocking when needed in the summer. My issue with the generator is if I’m out in the bush hunting, and it’s -20, I want it to be able to run all night without refueling, under a 900w load it will only run for 4 hours with the existing tank. So my question is, has anyone ever bypassed (or put a tank selector valve in) the gravity fed tank, and used a low pressure (2-4 psi) 12v inline pump from a jerrycan to fuel this generator? Will the float in the carb be able to hold back the excess fuel being such low pressure? The generator itself 12v to power the pump, so the safety issue of the pump running when the generator cuts out is not a concern. Cheers!1.8KViews0likes7Comments
