Default Onan fuel tank.

The only thing is that you will find that it will cost more
than you paid for the generator.

Even so, these generators are really rugged and run things
like air conditioners or pumps very nicely. They are not
like all those ultra cheap things with wishful thinking type
specs being sold in all the stores these days. You are lucky
to get through your first power outage with some of those
things that seem to have the same specs as yours.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of these manufacturers learned
about specs from Sears by looking at air compressor ads.

First, I would talk to the folks at Cummins. Onan made
factory conversions for some of their motors.

By the way, I use the portable plastic five gallon boat gas
tanks with integral fuel gauge and quick connect fuel line
to run my Onan. With two of these tanks, you can run pretty
much non stop in an emergency. No waiting for a generator to
cool down for refueling.
