Is there some solution to move this value out a little so I can get at it easier to turn on or off ? Also easier to change out if and when it breaks ? Pat

If the valve is screwed into a threaded fitting on the tank, then it can be removed and replaced by a hose fitting (pipe thread to hose barb); then a short hose (reinforced vinyl would be appropriate) can run to a separately mounted valve. You can use a better valve, and locate it in a more convenient place, but you would need to build and attach a mounting bracket, and the run from tank to valve needs to slope consistently downhill to drain the tank properly.
