Some have an electric fuel pump, just add an on/off switch to that pump.

DD716TED,
I simply treat the fuel with sea foam. I've been doing so for 10 years now.

Thank you for the response.. my generator does not have the run out of fuel setting on the switch..SO I just pop the cover, and open the drain screw on the carburetor and put the drain hose is a cup to drain the machine. I thought there would be an easier way such as what you have or my Yamaha generator has..
Have some fuel line between the tank and carb?
Simple enough, add a shut off. That is what I would do.

Found HERE for $10..
You can also check to see what the tank connection size is and if it is threaded.. If threaded, they do make shutoff valves for tanks you can replace the existing fitting with.
If it's an open frame generator, this works fine.
If it's your typical inverter generator, you still have to pull panels to get to your new shut off valve...at that point, it's just as easy to drain the bowl directly which is more effective.
