Claim 9:
10. A fill valve tank device configured to prevent a toilet from leaking due to a faulty flop or flop seal preventing movement of a float in communication with a shut-off mechanism of a fill valve, the device configured to prevent the unnecessary flow of water from a fill valve having a float within a tank of a toilet, the fill valve tank device comprising:
a housing, the housing integrated into the fill valve, the housing having a size to
at least completely surround the float and a portion of the fill valve to encapsulate water within an interior space of the housing, the housing comprising:

a plurality of sidewalls coupled to the bottom and extending a height opposite the bottom;
an open top portion, the open top portion culminating at an end of the height of the plurality of sidewalls and defining the interior space;

a secondary flop, the secondary flop received on the bottom of the housing
adjacent the bore and sized for receipt within the bore for sealing the bore;

a secondary chain, the secondary chain coupled to the secondary flop and a flush
lever, wherein manipulation of the flush lever is translated through the secondary chain to the secondary flop for selectively opening and sealing the bore; and

a secondary water supply tube, the secondary water supply tube coupled to a
water supply tube and affixed adjacent to the open top portion, wherein water from the water supply tube is directed into the secondary water supply and into the interior of the housing during filling of the toilet tank.
