This video shows how I assembled an extended run fuel tank for my Honda EU2200i generator.
I purchased most of the parts from a US based eBay seller named mri_denver
Here’s a link to their eBay store: www.ebay.com/s...
These types of hoses, caps and fittings are not limited to just the Honda generators.
The eBay seller has kits for a large selection of portable generators.
They also have CNC machined oil dipstick caps with a magnet embedded in the tip, as well as oil drain and fill spout extensions to eliminate making a mess when draining the oil.

You could also get a dual fuel generator and use propane instead. A 30 lb tank would run that generator about 24 hours and would be safer than gas. Thanks for sharing.

@deltabravo1257 Месяц назад

I'm very tempted to sell my EU2200 and get a dual fuel gen and use propane for it.

@arriagada1957 Год назад

That is what I am looking for high quality equipment...!

@BillySBC 6 месяцев назад

I'm going to hook my Honda EU2200i to a 55 gallon fuel drum, because I want to run it until the sun goes supernova. Hope this helps.

BERGS extended run system. I have the twin draw version for 2x 2200i

@deltabravo1257 11 месяцев назад

I looked at their systems, but the pre-built systems are really expensive.

@MrGhendri 11 месяцев назад

@@deltabravo1257 I have been using the same BERGS system for 10 years. Hoses and fittings are flexible and tight. I originally bought it for the 2000i but upgraded when the 2200i came out. The fuel gauge on the supply tank is quite handy. FYI , I have only used non ethanol gas.

@MrGhendri if I have mr bergs kit connected to my generator, can I fill both my generator gas tank as well as Mr bergs extended gas tank through only one cap or do I have to fill both gas tanks through separate caps? I'm assuming that I can fill both through just Mr bergs extended tank cap.

@MrGhendri 25 дней назад

@@NicoProv initially both generators must be filled individually along with the extended run tank. Then you only have to fill the extended run tank after that.

@Asidebar 4 месяца назад

why would you need to run the eu2200i more than nine hours? It only takes a few minutes to refuel the less tha 1 gallon tank to run for another 9 hours.

@deltabravo1257 4 месяца назад

An EU2000 or 2200 won't run nine hours on a full tank of gas when running a roof A/C, other high draw loads. It might only run 2 hours, maybe less.

@dondgc2298 4 месяца назад

So you fill it at 6pm and at 3am it cuts off because it’s out of gas. Do you like getting up at 3am and going outside with a flashlight to “just put one gallon” in the tank? And it won’t run 9 hours. 8 with a minimal load. During our last hurricane I would have been delighted to have 24 hour or more runtime.

@2S-hk4ob 9 месяцев назад

Can you someone tell why I can’t find a piece that will allow me to do this with my 10,000W Honda? I’ve looked everywhere. I don’t understand why the same method won’t would work on any generator.

@alanb76 2 месяца назад

If the generator has a fuel pump (which the eu2000 does) it can pull fuel from a tank on the ground. Many generators use gravity fuel systems and this won't work for them.

@elragnara 11 месяцев назад

You think this can work with a champion generator2500w?

@deltabravo1257 11 месяцев назад

If you can find a similar fuel cap for the Champion 2500, then it will work.

@rickbraden4272 Год назад

The Honda has a fuel pump. You don't have to have your external tank higher than the Honda.

@stephandalejo 8 месяцев назад

I have this exact same generator and I’m attempting to run it from an auxiliary line connected to my vehicle’s fuel tank. The generator is sitting higher than the tank, and I am priming the line before use, but for some reason the syphon effect does not occur. The fuel libe is about 12 ft long. Any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong?

@wildman4642 7 месяцев назад

@@stephandalejofill the generator tank to the top level before adding the extended run cap. If it's not sucking fuel your vent may not be open enough on the remote tank.

@RanmaP Год назад

I would like to do the same thing with my EU2200i. Great that you provided the link the the eBay seller. Do you also have a link on where you got the gas cap that goes on the Honda? I have an outboard motor gas tank already. TIA

@deltabravo1257 Год назад

The same ebay seller is where I bought my fuel cap too.

@teamloewtravels Год назад

We have the Champion Dual fuel and sometimes I wish I had gotten the Honda so I could do the extended run mod. I will have to look for mod instructions for the Champion. Great video and instructions.

@deltabravo1257 Год назад

Check out MRI_DENVER ebay seller. They have replacement fuel caps for a lot of generators. With a new CNC machined cap with a threaded hole, it's easy to do the extended run tank.

@factionfx Год назад

Yep came here to say this. I have MRI Denver's kit as well. I used his caps but am using a 5 gallon VP racing jug as source. If I needed more runtime I would use Wurx 20 gallon.

Will it not pull gas out of aux tank if that tank is on the same level as the gen?

@deltabravo1257 Год назад

It will.

@ajriding Год назад

@@deltabravo1257 my fear is the gas above will siphon into the carb, might could be too much for the needle spring and flood everything, run back into the air box and maybe be an issue. Safer to rely only on the vacuum, but if safety is no factor then sounds all fun.

@deltabravo1257 Год назад

@@ajriding It's no different than having a full tank of fuel in the generator fuel tank. The siphon effect only draws fuel when the generator is running

@markrottjakob2670 8 месяцев назад

I have noticed that these generators get older. The pumps do not pump as nicely and to have it a little higher than the generator is a good thing. But then the gasoline will fill up past the level of the gas cap on the generator and start leaking out. What you want to do is completely bypass the tank on your generator..
