I can see that if you have a decent fuel/water separator and go through alot of fuel. I guess that's one of the things that requires a "YMMV" disclaimer.

Finished up the fuel filter on the aux tank today. All self contained, just roll it up next to any MEP and connect with the factory aux fuel hose. Complete with 2 micron filtration.

I like it, that's a nice fuel tank. I should look into something that size for my 805

Ahhh yea that might feed it for a day or two!

It shouldn't matter though as the aux pump only fills the day tank. So even if it loses it's prime, it will just reprime. Only has to go through 6' of hose anyway. I believe the pump as an internal check valve as well. What set are you running? And what tank setup?

Not a bad idea. I do live in a very dry climate and I pay attention to the fuel I buy, avoiding bio like the plague. I just don't care for it. The aux tank has already been cleaned and is ready to be put into service.

I will do a little more research and see if it is needed. The fuel filter is rated to flow 12-15GPM so I doubt it would be an issue. My friend has a transfer pump pulling through a filter on his tank and it doesn't seem to struggle at all. But if it does need it, I like your idea.

Also, First Call sent me the wrong filter for a transfer tank and it got me thinking. Has anyone considered installing a filter between the aux tank and the genset? I got to looking and it wouldn't cost much at all to do. Amazon has the Wix 24770 filter base for $30 which will mate to a Wix...

Here are a couple of photos of my tank and lines for reference. I have not installed it yet as I am waiting on a new fuel level switch for my unit.

Ahh that looks good! I'd have jumped on that one! I actually found out last night my tank is a 35 gallon. But still plenty for my 802a with as few outages as we get here. I still have a 55 gallon drum in the garage and a 100 gallon transfer tank in the truck if I need more. I like how you...

Was just documenting what I did in my particular case to give others ideas who may be wanting to add a tank to their unit. Your idea is great too, I was just trying to accomplish it with minimal modification to the tank/lines and no modification to the genset in case I never need to hook up a...

They actually had those at the shop. They put two of those, the hose and brass "collars" (I don't recall the proper name) and crimped them in the hose machine. Got it made up really nice for less than two of those on Amazon.

Hey everyone, I was MIA for a while there. Had alot going on around here and just haven't had time to be on the web. I finally got some time this week to mess around with my 802a fuel setup and was able to come up with a solution. So a local guy near me deals in scrap and vehicle dismantling...
