DIY Extended Range Generator gas tank.

[ballgame]

Made this for my Honda 2000i generator.

The honda runs about 8 hours which is great but it will cut off around 4 am if you start it at 8pm.

This will ensure that I don't have to refill until the next day.

tank = $7
1/4 line = $4
Filter = $3
Nozzle = $10
Gas Cap = $12 (Honda caps are expensive)
1/4 in poly threaded nipple for gas cap = $1.50
epoxy = $0.50 cents worth.

So about $40 and very mobile.

Very nice. I'm guessing it has a vent on the can you used?

My generator has a metal cap so not sure this would work.

I just screw the cap down one thread so it's secure but not air tight

Heck of a set up. Should work just fine.

you can do it to yours just as easy.

just tap the cap and thread a 1/4 fitting to the top. Then use metal epoxy to make air tight.

just drill a slightly smaller diameter hole than the fitting.
