Rich,

Sounds like the way to go. I have been thinking about simplifying the
petcock affair by installing a banjo at the tank and then running an
aftermarket shut off along the line. Briggs and Stratton make a really nice
shut off that sells for about $5. Not pretty...not original but does the
job.

By the way...what does N.T.P. stand for?

Several weeks ago I posted a message inquiring about replacement
petcocks for my Ambo's tank--the tank's threads were stripped.

In any case, I found some petcocks sold by Storz Performance, Inc that
fit 1/4 N.P.T. threads. I tapped the bosses (?) on the tank to fit, put
some sealant on, screwed the taps in, and we were good to go.

They're pretty cheap, too, about $15 ea, but no reserve. P# 53030 (90
deg) or 53035 (straight)
