are simple modifications to use a boat gas tank (usually about 6

emergency amateur use before refill. I would take this as a first
responder system in a heartbeat.

I can see this setup being particularly useful for repeater sites
during an extended power outage. Any URLs for simple modifications.
I'm real ignorant on this kind of stuff.

Hmmm in the section titled KEEP THE GENERATOR ORIGINAL - "Larger
auxiliary tanks added to the system will create more pressure on the
inlet needle valve which may cause the inlet needle to lose its
ability to regulate the fuel flowing into the carburetor. This may
cause the crankcase engine oil to become diluted with fuel, spark plug
and spark arrestor carbon build-up, and possible external fuel leaks
which may result in fires."
