Auxillary tank/extended run for HF Predator 3500 inverter
Has anyone been able to mod/DIY an auxiliary tank for the Habor Freight predator 3500 inverter? I’m curious to know if the generic metal (Honda/champion/etc) generator gas caps on amazon will fit/thread. The pre-made kits on eBay/amazon are stupid expensive ripoff. All other parts hubby already picked up locally.

I do not know how the fuel system is configured on the Predator, but it is probably a gravity fed fuel system. With a gravity fed system the external fuel cell must be elevated higher than the carburetor. I have a pair of Champions 2000 watt gens that I wanted to run off an external fuel tank so I teed into the fuel line from tank to carb and added a quick disconnect.
You can either do the same or buy a fuel cap with nipple off eBay. The cap will be the easiest method. https://www.ebay.com/itm/PREDATOR-35...-/112504168879
I did not want to spend the money on two caps, so I teed into fuel line.2018 Refection 311BHS

I have two Honda 2000 generators. Have a marine tank. Caps on gens with quick connects and a fuel hose with a T to each gen, with quick connect to tank. The connection had a hose that extends into the tank. It lays flat on the ground and works perfectly. Is lower than the connection to the gens. Assumed there is s fuel pump in the gen that pumps it out. Works great...not gravity fed.
