Fuel supply to gen set?

[Bill Garamella]

This weekend's bus project is to install a Webasto Thermo 90 in the rear driver
side
compartment of our 83 FC. The fuel supply to the Webasto heater cannot be under
pressure.

Does anybody know if the diesel fuel supply line for the generator (mine is a
Yanmar) is
under pressure? I am hoping the generator uses a separate line from the tank
that is not
pressurized.

Or, is it drawn from the same fuel line that feeds the Racor? It is my
understanding that
the fuel line to the Racor is under pressure from a facet pump.

I suppose it is possible to tap the tank itself, but its full and I'm not too
crazy about
drilling into that beast.

I will be assisting a certified diesel mechanic with this project. He is a good
heavy truck
man, but not familiar with Birds.

Your assistance is always appreciated.

Thanks -NH Bill
