No,
electric fuel pumps are placed inside tanks or below the tank especially in high performance applications
Your pump would do better being level pulling 35' than trying to pull 2' from below.
I doubt they would put a gas tank 35' away
Why are you using a separate tank?

This is how it is set up in my toyhauler. THe Genset is under the front bedroom, the tank is in the very back under the garage. 41 foot toyhauler. Unless there are 2 fuel pumps, we just replaced the one at the genset thinking that could be the problem. It was not. It now appears it was the spark arrestor.

That sure seems like a lot.
I just measured mine. 13' from outlet on gas tank to inlet on gen on a 34' rv.
Maybe they put the tanks under the toy hauler garage to be used to fill up the toys too?

Yes mine has 2 tanks for gas, one for gen and one for toys. also 2 grays and a black, therefore i'm sure its a weight distribution issue.

Is it still working?
Did you leave the arrestor plug out?
