tap into main gas tank?

[blkjak]

i will be mounting a small generator just inside rear doors of cargo van.
is it possible to tap into main gas tank for continuous supply of gas.
thanks ... blkjak

gravity fed, wont work, your going to need a small fuel pump to get gas to the generator. and a control valve.

where will you be drawing fuel from the vans tank? you might have to pull tank and drain all gas and drill a hole. then run lines

thanks for the input...thought maybe tapping into fuel line with elect fuel pumpblkjak

with drawing through original gas line could cause air to get into the system. maybe a good idea to put a shut off tap/valve to the pump/ genny i dont think you will run a genny on the move. also you could fit a small tank underneath

You will have much too much pressure. Likely cause a massive leak.
