Looks like this one you just change gas caps, reviews are good, wonder if it really works.

Those will only work with the listed generators. Those listed generators have the fuel pump from the factory. The Champion is only gravity feed. The kit from Supergen has a fuel pump.

Some more detail. The kit is all 1/4" hose, but it was impossible to find a 1/4" marine style fitting. I purchased a 3/8" or 5/16" quick connect (below), but it didn't fit. So I purchased some some 5/16" fuel line from Autozone. Then I ran the clear 1/4" hose (from the kit) to a 5/16" barbed splicer. Then from here I ran the 5/16" hose to the Attwood quick connect. Now I can easily disconnect the 6 gallon tank and take it to fill up. You could run the generator almost indefinitely. You can flip over to the internal tank and fill the external up, then reconnect the external and flip back.

The tank was purchased at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Attwood-6-...-Tank/16350987

The quick connect fitting was purchased at Academy: http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/attw...dCatid=1000661

I had the 5/16" splicer from a previous project. You can get the 5/16" fuel line at most auto parts stores.

Has anyone used the Champion 3100w with 15k A/C and in Eco mode? I got it to run the 15k A/C fine, but it needed to start with Eco Off. After it was running, I could turn Eco On.

I might need a hard start capacitor, but wanted to see if anyone had any different results.

Probably doesn't help you but mine starts the 13.500 btu on Eco mode

Have you had a chance to try it yet? Are you happy with it? I want to get one, just want to know if you are happy with it or if I should go with the $250 from Bottom Line Trading.

I ran it for 2 hours without any problems. I'm happy with it. The real test is running it overnight. I don't see how the other kits are any better.

Do you happen to have a 15k btu A/C? I'm curious about starting it with Eco Mode on.

My A/C is 15k, but I have not used the generator yet. I bought the generator just for backup or a quick overnight at Walmart, we plan to always stay where there's power. Hopefully I will never have any issues.

Just want to add the extended run in case we ever need it.

Does this one have the marine fuel line connection? I see you added one from Academy, just curious which one comes with it. (I prefer the double prong one)

The kit doesn't come with the marine connection. I almost bought the double prong connection, but saw the newer sprayless Attwood connector. I bought it instead. It is supposed to eliminate or reduce the spray when disconnecting. Let me know if you want me to take any specific pics.

Here's the answer to my inquiry about the Champion extended run kit:

Hello Mike,

Here is some information on the kit. I should be getting it listed soon on our www.supergenproducts.com website. For now these pictures will give you an idea. We sell it for $79.95 including shipping. You must supply your own fuel can source but we supply a 4 ft. pickup hose for the connection. We supply a sealing grommet and recommend a 5 gal plastic can for best use. Use the aux. gas can and when it is empty, use the inverters main tank while you go to refill the plastic can.

The following will give you some idea how it works. Sorry i have done a complete pictorial yet, but the instructions are included with this email.
Thanks for your interest. We have them ready to ship and offer 24 hr. help at our phone no. 1-8-GENERATOR (843) 637-2867

Thanks for your interest,
Paul Cole Super Gen Products - West
