Access to fuel tank

[beatsworkin]

I think I need to have a dedicated fuel line for my Onan 7.5 generator. Now it is teed off the water separator of the 871.  The Question is where is there a access to the fuel tank to install a dedecated line?

The 05 has a access panel on the passengers side tank but most have been covered during conversions.You can access the drivers side or passengers side by removing the boggie tire and have plenty of room to make a tap in the top.  
I installed mine on the drivers side because it was the shortest distance to the generator     good luck

Thanks luvrbus for responding.

I do see two pipe plugs in the top of the tank on the pass side but I don"t see how there would be.  enuff height to get a tube into that hole.  Any ideas.

Red,  those plugs have a pickup tube already in the tank that is the main supply for my engine.One is a pickup and the other is for a vent I forgot which is which but blow air into the 2 the one that makes the fuel bubble is the pickup   good luck
