    almost all portable generator's use a gravity feed fuel system and ALL have the fuel tank mounted above the motor

    so to be legal it MUST have some type of fuel pump AND the fuel tank CAN NOT be mounted over the motor.

    as long as it meets that requirements it would be legal.... the honda eu3000 has a fuel pump and can be hooked to a remount fuel tank a few other can as well.....

    as I said "will dot f with you about a portable generator probably not but can they YES"

    Scroll thru the thread I posted. Other people have a legit setup. Mine is bad, not horrid. I have a chemical pump on the frame rails, so I have room for a side box.

    You will not make friends anywhere you park and run that generator. You may not care but you should at least know.
