I take it also that the outside tank has to be lower than the generator otherwise there would be a siphon overflow.

Is there merit to the idea that the modified gas cap should be plastic not aluminum? On ebay the idea is touted that a modified Honda cap is better, although it seems to me the idea of the cap now is not to vent but to be airtight.
Now that power is back and everything put away (for us--the town is still 30% out, and the next town over is still 78% out) I'm thinking more about the suggestion to use a marine tank with the cap mod. Perhaps someone could help me understand it better.
Incredible upgrade – a must for anyone who owns an EU6500iS. I installed this days before Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey. This functioned flawlessly. I later on added a Moeller 10 gallon fuel cell doubling the fuel capacity as well as run time from
This item has been tested and verified to fit US models, however this product will work on many different international models. All installation instructions refer to US models.
This kit will connect your Honda EU6500iS to any size remote fuel tank you chose. This Item also fits the EM5000iS and EM7000iS.
I originally developed this kit for the EU6500iS but it also fits the EM5000iS and the EM7000iS. The instruction Video was shot using the EU6500iS because that is the most difficult generator to install this product on. In order to install this product on the open frame models the procedure is the same but you do not have to deal with the cabinet, so it is a lot easier to install. more

You will never have to shut down your generator to refuel again. Our Honda EU6500iS Extended Run Time Fuel Kit is designed to alternate from one tank to the next while the generator is still running. Our kit will allow you to alternate between as many tanks of any size you choose. For example with a 6 gallon fuel tank you can run a Honda EU6500is for up to 6 hours at full load or 13 hours at half load on a 6 gallon fuel tank, before alternating to the next fuel tank. more
Re: regular generator and marine fuel tank, will it get fuel properly .
I got a used generator with a bad ( leaking ) fuel tank, my thoughts were if I could use my marine fuel tank to supply fuel to the genny ?? My only concern is that the old tank was gravity fed, the marine tanks seem to work off of the pump ball ( the plus is the marine tank is 12 gals ) ??
well any fuel tank source as long as its above should work then right ?? [links]
For safety reasons place generator and fuel tank on level ground when using and make sure fuel tank and hose are not near any heat source or open flame. here
I would like to take a moment to thank yuh for your awesome kit for the eu7000 Honda and your awesome video to install it our power was out for two days and the kit was a life saver I own two more generators a 2000 and a 3000 that in the near future I will be putting kits in -Willie Simone [links]

The fuel tank itself is not included in this kit due to the fact that it seems no two customers need the exact same size fuel tank. Here is a link that may help you find the proper sized fuel tank for your needs. more
