Fuel connection

Does anyone have any experience with this fuel connection? It's listed as a gravity feed connector for 5 gal or 55gal. Found a few on eBay for around $23 shipped.

That's some kind of makeshift aux fuel connector.

The original looks like the items in this thread.

Howdy,

Yes, that is a military aux fuel connection.
There are lots of stuff out there.

I understand that would be used for market kitchen's cooking tables (ovens, cooktops,)

Those are commonly seen used on the military space heaters where a constant flow is necessary. They are attached to Jerry cans that are then turned upside down and placed on stand. It's really not intended to be used with any genset that has an auxiliary fuel pump that pumps its own fuel out of a Scepter Jerry can or 55 Gal drum. For that you would use this instead: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?171024-Generator-AUX-fuel-connections.
