Also, A question about fueling. You have your fuel jug. Do you drill holes through the top and glue the tubes into the cap to keep it closed? If you have a picture I would like to see one. Any other ideas welcome.

I use metal cans with metal caps. Two short brass tubes are inserted in holes through the cap and soldered. A clunk line to the bottom of one. Only use geared hand pumps. These are far better than 12 volt types and you can count the cranks defueling for easy fuel consumption checks. Safer too freeing the need for a power panel and battery when a portable starter and ignitor are used.

The pump is glues to the can with a thick pad of RTV.
