Sharing fuel supply line for Espar heater and generator possible?

[mojogoat]

I'm installing an Onan 2800 on a Promaster van (gasoline) and it has one extra fuel line supply from the tank. Can I share the fuel line with a Espar or Webasco heater?

You sure it's a supply line and not a return line?

If it's big enough to supply a main engine, then it'll be big enough to supply a couple of dinky loads like the gen and heater.

It has an a spare connection for this purpose, my concern is if the Espar fuel pump will have a problem sharing the suction line with a generator.

It could if your running both at the same time.

You need to make sure neither will drain your fuel tank dry leaving you stranded. RVs with onboard generators extend the fuel pickup tube down about 2/3rds into the fuel tank.

The promaster extra fuel port is set up that way, 2/3.

It was my understanding that Espar and Webasto runs on diesel fuel...And your van engine uses gasoline right?

They do make a petrol version of the air heater. I have one in the XV-JP and, except for the difference in fuel, it's operationally the same.
