I dont want a huge one, a 50 gallom tank in my opinion is too big i just want the added fuel range of an extra 10 gallons or soo.. I do alot of interstate driving for longer distances an its a hassel to stop every 400 miles when i could keep on rolling.. So if i could get an extra 10-15 gallons tapped into my original fuel tank and it wont cost me an arm and a leg than it would deff be worth it to me

Are you sure that would fit? Using the same strap locations and the pump properly fitting and working and the fuel level sensor registering properly?

No, you would have to come up with a solution for the fuel filler neck. I forgot about that damn thing.

Its going to be too much trouble to make it a viable option. Sorry, I really did think that was going to be a good solution. The only other thing I can think of now is a fuel cell in the spare tire spot that could send fuel to your main tank when it gets low. But then you're without a spare on long trips.

That looks like a pretty good idea, is there certain things i cant do that will cause a ses light because of the evap crap or can i just tap into the filler neck with another tank and let it ride?

as long as your rear tank is sealed so the evap can pull vacuum, and you dont over fill your main tank. no evap codes should come on.

prolly be a good idea to let your main tank get down to half or so before you start filling it with the AUX tank.
