Who has an auxiliary tank for their portable generator? What do you use? Where' d you get it, etc.?
I keep my generator in the bed of my pickup. Really annoying when running to to power AC 24/7 for a couple of days straight to have to refill the gas tank every 8-10hrs. I remember seeing something a year or so ago where someone had made a gravity fed one from a 10gal marine tank, but I can't seem to find the information again.

I'll bump this up and ask around. Too bad you can't get a direct feed from your truck tank . . assuming of course that you have a gas tank and not a diesel.
Oh, hey. I found this on Ebay.
Feeds ONE Generator Models: Honda EU1000iA2 and EU2000i Yamaha EF1000isc, Robin R1100 and R1700i
- Holds 6 gallons of gas. Dimensions: 20"L x 11"W x 12"H Unit sits level with generator. No elevation needed.
Incredible! This auxiliary tank can extend the full-power output of your generator up to 30+ hours! The Duration Tank can be filled before your adventure and is completely safe for travel when full of fuel. It is easy to use: simply disconnect your generator's cap, screw in the special adapter and connect to the Duration Tank which is DOT and USCG approved. Total installation time: 3 minutes. This tank adds 6 gallons to your gen's one gallon tank and allows you to run for 7 times what you would normally do with the internal tank alone. Great for keeping the fridge cold all day and night, or for a weekend at the cabin where no one will need to refill the generator's tank the whole time. Unit is safe for travel or storage when full of fuel with shutoff valves in fuel lines and cap breather. Simply disconnect your generator's fuel cap, screw in the adaptor and connect to the Duration EU Tank.

Dave beat me to the info. Not sure what make gen you have but if you do a search for that make you might find something that would work. If you happen to have the Honda then check out www.wisesales.com They offer a single feed model and also one that will supply two gens.
