Of course, all one needs to do is turn off the petcock as directed and warned in the manual to almost totally reduce the incidence of leakage."

Have you guys considered an electric fuel transfer pump to avoid the gravity feed/needle and seat issue? a remote tank outside the "cave" could be used. A tank system kind of like the toyhaulers. The concern then becomes whether or not you want to be having dinner with a tank under you!
No need.
My genny's primary fuel source is LPG from either the RV tanks or a remote outside 5 gal tank. The use of gasoline is a secondary fuel in the event I am in a remote area where LPG refils or exchange tanks are not available.
My vent hose is not shown in these photos.
Do not forget to seal the fuel gauge as well. It is not air tight as installed.
Very cool setup and thanks for the detailed procedure... they are always a plus. I have not looked at my ELIM or EU3000 cap lately but is there a way to plug up the vent holes/slots in the original cap so you don't have to drill the tank? Or is this simply impossible?
