Is it possible to remotely mount the petcock away from the tank? Like attach a fuel line to the bottom of the tank with a hose clamp, then run the fuel line to a remotely located petcock? I have an interference issue between my desired tank and frame and am wondering if mounting the petcock remotely is OK.
Must petcock be attached to tank?

You sure can. Here's a link to a page that offers in-line petcocks:

You can also buy the NT Speed carb that has a "built-in" petcock. See page link below:

also, having it on the tank means that (2 stroke) oil wont settle at the lowest part of the fuel system.
I had the petcock after the fuel filter. which meant that after about a month of not riding the bike, oil started to separate and collect in the fuel filter. this creates an uneven fuel mix in the fuel filter and this makes starting the engine very hard as there is too much oil in the fuel mix.
