Fuel delivery to generator

Hey everyone. Just wanted to note an issue I have been chasing for almost a year. I have a 2015 seismic 310w. Generator is Onan 5500 RV QG. It has 130 hours. Every since day one, it would run for xxx amount of hours and then die. After spending tons of time troubleshooting and reading online, I finally came to the conclusion it was basically running out of fuel. Not contaminated fuel, or clogged carbs. Now understand there is a good 25 feet of gas line between the fuel tank located at the rear and the generator in the front storage compartment. The fuel pump operates at 2.5 - 4 psi. Anything more would totally flood fuel bowl. So just to be sure, I replaced the fuel pump with exact Onan part, and relocated the pump to be side mounted to the rear fuel tank. Result? NO more issues. Runs perfectly all day. BTW the error codes I was getting were unexpected shut down. (36). In other words the controller board had no errors to shut down the generator. It just ran out of fuel.

Fuel delivery to generator levelling problem

I had the same issue with my 2015 Seismic 42'. The dealer checked the carb, etc. and added an extra fuel filter underneath the generator just to make sure nothing got past that point.
I still had the problem later and determined by viewing the new filter that gas wasn't making it to the filter bulb. I dropped the front end to level or a little bit below and don't have the problem anymore.
But, I would like to know where you found the fuel pump you replaced?
