Honda EU2200 External Fuel Line Modification.

I finally did it. I figured out how to add an external fuel line to my Honda EU2200 Generator.

It uses the factory internal fuel tank shutoff as a selector valve to the external fuel line. Since this generator has an internal fuel pump, it will pull from the boats main fuel tanks now.

Nice work… very useful mod. I see you have a valve in addition to the quick connect fitting.
Is this for leakage or does the line pull air in and the valve seals it to make the fuel pump draw from the internal tank. My question is: when in external tank mode, does the fuel pump still draw from the internal tank or is that line also sealed with its own valve? Would it otherwise pull air if run dry?
I think we met on your boat at Hontoon when you first got the generator and were showing me the phone app control. Best to Y’all

Hey Dale! I remember Endeavor. Sorry for the loss. Answers to your questions.

The EU2200 has the built in fuel shut off so it lets the generator run on this selection. My plan is to run the generator empty with no fuel in the built in tank. It makes it a little lighter to remove the generator on and off the boat by having an empty tank. Plus the fuel tank will be clean and ready for whenever I need to use it off of the boat.

You could definitely omit the fuel valve to the quick connection. I put it in as part of my testing of this modification. So I kept it Installed. No worries with the fuel pump drawing air from the quick connection it has a really strong spring in it.

Imagine if Honda made this standard in the next model? How awesome would that be?
