I always worry about that plastic fuel petcock also but could rig up a motorcycle tank to supply it.

I always replace those suckers with a stainless steel 90 degree turn ball valve from the start on riding mowers, generators, etc.
A little pricey $12-$15, but you're done with that problem.
Those plastic jobs are crap, they eventually leak or come apart totally.

Thanks, I will look for one of those. Last thing I need is another fuel dump on the floor.
