Yeah but if there is an emergency you can buy a stand alone 60 PSI fuel pump for like $120 plus a roll of fuel line. That would get you half the height by itself if you put an empty barrel in between. And by either moving the pump or buying a second pump you could transfer it up to the top again in either a fuel barrel or straight into the generator tank. Probably 12V pumps because its an emergency and you need what is on the shelf, but that isn't any real obstacle for a temporary setup.
