Is there an alternative cap that will eliminate any possible spills while venting?
You can eliminate the tank, cap,vents, and spills by converting the genset to LPG!:B

Ah, yes! I want to get started on this conversion. I guess I better start researching.
There is NOT an alternative style cap for the older gas tanks. Before I decided to totally eliminate gasoline and go strictly with LPG I did make an alternative cap out of PVC and Seal All. It worked, but was difficult to fill with the generator in "The Cave". Here are a few photos of the leak proof cap. Do NOT forget the fuel gauge is not totally vapor or leak proof and may need sealing as well. I removed my gauge and replaced it with a piece of metal, then sealed it with the Seal All. One note on Seal All.... sunlight DOES break it down over time. In about a year it had cracked and needed recoating. When the AUX fuel tank in the back of my Dually showed signs of Seal All cracking I coated it with Dicor Rubber Roof Sealant. So far, so good.
Note the vent valve in the center of the cap needed to run the engine. Just open it a crack to let air into the tank so fuel will draw into the carb.
