Honda EU2000i Extended range Run - Bergs System Bergs II Dual System W/Tank Cap - 2021

Honda Extended range fuel : First off a new Honda eu2000i will generally run up to ten hours on low power just charging batteries so you really have to be lazy if you think fueling this thing every six to ten hours of run time is beyond your physical capabilities. But if you don't have an on board fuel tank (I do with a toyhauler) then having an aux tank might just be for you. For several years now I've toyed with the idea of setting up an auxiliary fuel tank for the Honda. I realize that this isn't rocket science by any means but it's been one of those things that I just never got motivated to do. Here's a couple of things that I learned from this ultimately simple procedure...

Since we travel a lot I have a tendency to use Amazon quite a bit, I found a custom fuel cap for the Honda there and ordered it for over twice what an OEM cap eventually cost me. I found out that an older Honda may or may not have the same threads on the fuel tank as a modern one for some reason. The expensive billet aluminum cap that I received would not screw down on mine so I gave it to a friend with a new Honda and it worked fine. On my next Amazon order I ordered an OEM cap and we were in business although I was now into a fuel cap for over $40. Simply pull the guts out of the OEM cap (it has to be the smaller version for older units with the vent through the top not the sides) and find the appropriate male spike so that you can drill out the plastic and screw the spike in. Once mine was drilled and I'd figured out that I'd be able to screw the spike in I coated the threads with JB Weld as thread sealant and drove it home, it won't ever fall out.

My next order of business was to just drill the cap out of a two gallon gas can and stuff the hose in, not my best idea but I was too cheap to buy a marine tank at the time. The problem with the gas can is that you may or may not be able to get the hose to stay at the bottom of the tank. If you do then when it gets low or empty of course it's going to get light as well and a little breeze might have you looking all over the desert for your not so inexpensive gas can. Care to guess how I learned this?? Sometimes being cheap/thrifty just isn't cost effective so for around $50 I found a 3 gallon marine tank which fit the bill perfectly for the Honda. I would have loved to have found one of the old steel marine tanks but apparently those are non-existent these days so plastic is all you'll find. The problem with the plastic tanks is that they have a one way valve on the vent system which only allows air to go in and not out. This causes the plastic tanks to swell up like a balloon if they get hit with direct sunlight when the cap is screwed down tight even during use. The Honda just doesn't draw enough volume to offset the pressure build up so loosening the cap during use is a pretty good idea.
Currently I'm boondocked out in the Arizona desert for the last time this season with my little Honda cabled up to the rear bumper of the rig. It's chugging away silently providing power enabling me to write this. Upon completion of this little project I realized that I'd spent the better part of a hundred dollar bill simply because I'm too lazy to fuel my generator from the fuel station located on the 5th wheel. Now that I've learned my expensive lesson I figured that I'd share my ignorance with the rest of the forum and hopefully save so

So far I have only used it once for a long weekend of camping, but it worked perfectly. Easy to set up and draws the fuel into each gen set evenly. As long as you raise the hoses after use and open the cap on the reservoir, the fuel in the hoses drains back and it transports fine without fuel spill after tying the hoses up on top of the reservoir. Very nice!

Some people said, in their reviews, that they had problems with cross-threading on the caps. I never saw that, but then I also screwed the caps on very carefully. (I always turn a cap backwards until it clicks and settles into the threads, after which I know I can confidently screw it forward with out messing up the threads.) I filled both Honda e2000 generators up, screwed on these caps (which entailed removing the tether on the Honda caps), made sure this tank was full. Then turned on the generators. I never had to remove any caps again for the two days we were dry camping. Of course, we didn't have the generators running all of the time, but I just turned them off and back on again. Worked perfectly. When I arrived home, I found that the tanks of the generators were so full that when I removed these caps, some gas actually spewed out (home is at about 100 ft and we were using the generators at a higher altitude). I'll mention that the tank became somewhat distorted at times due to air pressure changes. I just unscrewed the cap to relieve the pressure difference. Of course, this wasn't during use; that would break the seal.
