The ecotrons fuel tap is a big improvement over previous incarnations of the kit. In past versions you had to drill holes in the tank. However, the new fuel tap is not a petcock. That is where it is lacking. With the OEM petcock, to remove the tank, you just unbolt and disconnect it - no worries about gas leaking out.

With the new fuel tap, to remove the tank you have to drain the tank (by making a flammable mess). There is no way to cut the fuel off. I plan to add inline fuel cutoff valves (it takes two).

Hopefully, future versions of the petcock will incorporate valves so that ON, OFF, and RESERVE will work. That is, when ON, fuel enters the higher tube and is returned to the lower tube. When set to RESERVE, fuel enters the lower tube and is returned to the higher tube. It would also be great if it had a switch to turn off the fuel pump when the valve is OFF and came with its own screens and gaskets.
