Thanks to you all for responses to my generator fuel line question. Apparently there isn't such a thing as an in-tank fuel pump with two ports--at least, not for a Toyota--but I looked under a friend's RV, and her generator fuel line is tapped into the fuel tank's drainage plug, then runs up over the tank to the generator. Not as ideal as tapping directly into the top of the tank, but it'll do, and that's what I'll have done. The hose will run up into the tank a ways so the generator won't empty my gas tank. . . . Muchas gracias.

I would like to hear from anyone who has a generator installed in a generator-ready Toyota motorhome of ca. 1991-94 vintage. Specifically, I would like to know how you get fuel from the gas tank to the generator. Toyotas in this vintage have their fuel pump in the fuel tank: does that fuel pump have a generator port, or is the fuel tank tapped in some other way to run a fuel line to the generator? I'm having innumerable problems with the Onan generator that was installed in my NOT-GENERATOR-READY used Toyota Seabreeze by the original owner. The generator runs rough if its fuel line is T'ed into the engine's fuel line or into the engine's return fuel line. I'm told I need to draw the fuel directly from the tank, not from an engine fuel line, and that the best way to do this is from the engine's fuel pump that has a generator port. I have not been able to find such a fuel pump and would like to know how other generators get their fuel from the tank. (Don't confuse the engine's fuel pump with the generator's; I'm talking about the engine's fuel pump.) I've spent seventeen hundred useless dollars trying to solve this problem!
