Just a warning about this ... many water valves/taps are not suitable for
fuel.  Our modern (at least in CA) gasoline is particularly bad about this,
it will attack many plastics, likely including any plastic or rubber seals
found in water (or natural gas) valves.

BTW, there is a free (ad supported) on-line dictionary at
http://www.m-w.com/netdict.htm

It even has audio pronunciations for many words.

Main Entry: tap
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English tappe, from Old English tfppa; akin to Old High
German zapho tap
1 a : a plug for a hole (as in a cask) : SPIGOT
