Source 5/16 JIC instead... same thing, just a higher tolerance for the AN part... exactly the same otherwise.

There are people who laugh, and say, "why would this little thing make a big deal? Well, you and mister dirt daubber haven met yet. After you do, you will understand.

Wrangling the disconnected ends of my fuel hose was always a minor irritant for me. I like a nice, neatly coiled hose with the ends capped. I had these cheesy plastic caps that would go missing when I moved things around. It occurred to me that I could use a bulkhead coupler to cap the hose ends and fasten them together.

The origanal milatary hoses came with an adapter, to connect two hoses together. AND, it was to allow you to join both ends of the hose to keep the hose from being contaminated with dirt and crud.

All the sets Ive seen have that adapter on a chain as part of the wrap.

I didn't see this answer in the thread, so I'll ask the question. Does the Auxiliary Tank need to be pressurized or located above the generator, or does the generator suck the fuel up? Is it strong enough to suck it up into the bed of a 5-ton from the ground, or would I need a transfer pump?

I do not think that will be a problem. Of course, you haven't said what type gen set you have. But I don't think you need to worry.

I have drained fuel from a 804, from a 1200 gal fuel tanker. Thats higher then the bed of a 5 ton by several feet.

Right, but what if the tank were on the ground, and the generator was in the bed of the truck? Gravity feed is no problem. My question is about suction.

I still do not think you have a problem. Its 15GPM and 6 PSI.

Of course. ANY gen set should have the same size fittings. No problem.

I am not familiar with these sets, but I would be willing to put money on the fact that its a very similar setup.

All the sets work that way. From 002A to 807B. All of them.
