I now have a 12 gallon boat tank I want to use for my generator. The tank on the generator is about 1 gallon and will run for 2.5 hours with 12 gallons of fuel it should run for 30 hours. My plan is to put the tank on a stand higher than the generator and do a gravity feed to the generator. Hooking it up to the generator should be fairly easy I will run a fuel line straight to the carb.
The issue is getting the fuel out of the tank. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in the bottom of the tank and installing a hose barb and a fuel shut off valve. What would be the safest and best way to keep the fuel from leaking where I drill the hole?
