Buy it, call Copperhead and ask what they use.

All you should need besides the tank and lines is an auxiallry Fuel Pump.

You could probably rig up a 12V electric fuel pump to work on the ignition switch

How did the motor come equipped? with a tank on the engine or with a remote tank (and the previous owner just didnt give you the tank with the engine)?

I had a 13hp LT. I could run all day on a tank, prolly 20 miles or better if I had to guess.

They get great fuel milage. With the gas tank up top your governor and throttle linkages are all protected, if you ran any kind of thick cover like I do I would have to make a shield to keep things from tearing off.
Just carry a couple extra gallons with you.
