Extend Your Generator’s Runtime
Whether it is for fun or work, if you need power, you want to ensure it can last. Most generators can last between three to eight hours on a single tank, and those do not usually pass a gallon. Constantly refilling it at hour intervals can be a hassle. So, what if you had a way to make your generator’s fuel supply last hours and even days? How can you avoid refueling your generator so frequently? Easy as pie, buy a B.E.R.G. product from our selection at Acme Tools.
What is a B.E.R.G.S. Fuel Extender?
The B.E.R.G.S. (Breeze Extended Run Generator System) are external gas tanks that feed into your gas-powered generator and allow for more fuel for extended energy use when using your generator. B.E.R.G.S. is an easy and cheap way to get your generator to run longer without buying a more significant generator. B.E.R.G.S. is ideal for areas where electricity is not available to you. Job sites where power lines are not set up, camping in the wilderness, travel trailers, and even in emergencies.
Go Days Without Checking Your Generator’s Fuel
Usually, most generators require constant refueling every couple of hours. With the B.E.R.G.S., you will not have to do that anymore. You may have to check it once daily, depending on how long and how many generators run. The run times on these generators can vary depending on what model you get and how many generators you fuel. The one thing they all have in common is that they all come in 6-gallon fuel extenders.
B.E.R.G.S. I, II, & III
- The B.E.R.G.S. I has a run time of up to 72 hours.
- The B.E.R.G.S. II has a run time of up to 36 hours.
- The B.E.R.G.S. III has a run time of up to 150 hours.
The designs are similar, but their uses give drastic differences in (suggested) time. With I, you are only fueling one generator to get more time without checking and more electricity. II provides fuel for two generators, so twice the power but half the time. Finally, III provides the longest run time due to the generators it connects to already having a lengthy duration.
Why Buy a B.E.R.G.?
If you are outdoorsy, this would be an excellent way to extend your time outside without losing the availability of your cell phone, tablet, or computer. More importantly, most brands have gadgets and supplies that can run on AC electricity if you are camping. Batteries are also an option, but they are bulky, get lost, and lose charge without anyone knowing. If you get a generator and this expander, you will have power and power for days. Hopefully, it will exceed your camping stay.
Longer Generator Runtimes for Camping
R/V and mobile homeowners would find this as helpful as any camper and double the use of your generators with half the checkup time. Especially in those sizzling summer months when you need to blast the A/C, generators will go through a lot of gas. With B.E.R.G.S. II, you will not have to worry about it using so much fuel.
Fuel Your Generator on the Jobsite
With small and remote job sites, the B.E.R.G.S. III is a beautiful way to extend work when electricity is unavailable. Working in a newly developing area sometimes means wires are not up yet, and your job does not require those monstrous trailer-size generators. It would be best if you still had power, and the extender would give your generator the fuel it needs to finish the job.
Quit Worrying About Refueling Your Generator
Now, in cases of emergency and crisis, having this extender around will be a huge necessity. Your generator can only hold so much gas before it goes out. It can be hard to run it on its lowest setting to get the most time out of it before the fuel is gone. With the B.E.R.G.S., you can make it last days if needed. You never know when power will return, but at least you will have some to keep your house running.
Conclusion
When it comes to energy, it is never a bad idea to have a lot of it. The B.E.R.G.S. will make having a generator more accessible to power and longer lasting. Making whatever you are using more accessible and stress-free.
DISCLAIMER: Currently, the B.E.R.G.S carried by Acme Tools is only compatible with the Honda or Generac generators.

November 15, 2021 at 9:13 amHello. I have a Honda EG2800i generator. Looking at purchasing a fuel extender cap. Do you sell one that will fit that generator?

November 16, 2021 at 8:02 amHello, Thank you for your question. At this time IPI Industries does not offer a cap that will fit the Honda EG2800i generator. They are constantly adding new models so we suggest checking their website frequently for updates.
Thank you,

January 23, 2024 at 3:01 pmJust wondering what order the fuel is used. Does it use the fuel in the Honda 2000 generator first and then the extended tank or vice versa? Or is it simultaneously? Thanks, Gordy

January 26, 2024 at 10:09 amHi Gordy, The BERGS Fuel tank feeds into the Honda tank, so if we are talking about the fuel level, the BERGS fuel level decreases while the Honda tank stays full, and then when the BERGS tank is empty, the Honda tank level will decrease. The fuel is being used from the Honda tank but the BERGS extender is immediately refilling it while it has fuel.
Thanks, Acme Tools
