Fuel supply to gen set?

[Bill Garamella]

Stephen,

Dropping the tank sounds like a real pain for what appears to be a simple
project. I
would need another tank to put my 276 gallons of fuel in. I hope its not my only
option.

However, now you have me wondering if there may be a port in the bedroom floor
that
would allow access to the threaded holes? Is there one?

Splash back has not been a problem so far. In fact, I just topped off today and
no issue..
I wonder if I already have the additional vent.

Thanks for your thoughts.
