No issue at all. That's what it is anyway.

You will want to get a manual petcock for sure. I've had a few tanks drain out over night from crap in the float needle.

Ok thats what I was thinking if I can do with with out the petcock maybe a turn off valve.

That is no problem for the bike at all.
Finding something to adapt the tank to a manual valve might be the tough part.

If you prefer the look of the other tank I say go for it. One advantage is the manual petcocks usually have an On/Off/Reserve feature that Kymco's don't have.

I have been keeping my eyes open for a cylindrical aluminium tank for my Frame 4t.  I've run out of fuel a few times.

I might just hook it up as a second tank for those long rides.
