Where is the generator fuel line connection at the fuel tank? May 13, 2022, 01:26:34 pm I guess I was expecting to see it on one of the sides a quarter up from the bottom. Does it actually enter from the top of the tank? Sorry I’ve done some searching but have not located a picture or drawing yet.Thanks,Steve‘03 TK

Right next to the other fuel connections (engine send and return).The dip tube extends down 3/4 of the way into the tank. Pictures here (thanks to LarryW) Fuel pump replacement | FlickrRich 1 Likes

The fitting on the left side of the fuel pump, the one with the 1/4” fuel line, is the outlet for the generator.If you have to drop your gas tank, replace all the rubber lines including the emission hoses.Larry 1 Likes

Re: Where is the generator fuel line connection at the fuel tank? Reply #5 – May 13, 2022, 03:34:53 pm My brother was quoted $800 dollars to drop the tank and replace the fuel line for the generator. This shop has treated him well in the past with good pricing. We were both a little surprised at the price. I think it’s going to give him the incentive to do it himself. Steve

Re: Where is the generator fuel line connection at the fuel tank? Reply #7 – May 13, 2022, 05:16:59 pm The pump needs three outlets, most only have two outlets.Changing the pump yourself can be a challenging, make sure it is as empty as possible, just a few gallons of fuel in the tank will make it very unstable. Some tanks have a drain plug on the bottom.Even empty, the steel tank is very heavy.Larry
Re: Where is the generator fuel line connection at the fuel tank? Reply #8 – May 13, 2022, 10:18:36 pm Thanks Larry, I’ve been gathering information to help my brother who has a 2007 Itasca. I’m 300 miles away so he gets to do all the heavy lifting but I can at least do the research. He’s 15 years younger than me so he should be able to do the job. Hopefully I will not have to do mine anytime in the future but at least my tank has a drain plug😁
