I took my stock one out.  Then I cut off the neck of a plasic qt. oil bottle
that had a tapered neck (so the size of the opening would match.  Then I
used JB weld to attach it.  Been working fine for 300 hrs.  That is a cold
area so the JB holds up nicely.  Supper cheap, supper easy, supper light
weight.   Should be a non-issue if the JB breaks down.
