Auxiliary fuel tank in a '94 Dakota

[A.J.]

I recently went to California to drop off a customers mini-van and pick up a Daytona for a friend. I don't like the range of the factory 22 gallon tank and I didn't want to pay California gas taxes so I installed a spare tank in my bed. I had a spare tank and pump out of a '98 Caravan I was going to use but it's only 20 gallons, short, and wide. So I went to the junk yard and found an almost perfect fit 26 gallon tank out of a '99 Dodge Ram. I used a spare fuel sender out of my truck, hooked up the aux fuel level sender to a toggle switch to read both the main tank and the aux tank, and a switch for the pump to refuel while I'm driving. The vent/rollover valve is plumbed into the factory charcoal canister. The aux pump is spliced into the factory fuel filler neck vent hose. I used metal T's and fuel grade hose. I don't want to become a rolling fireball.

I installed a clear fuel filter so I can see when the tank is "truly" empty because I'll see air bubble in the filter in my rear view mirror.

Where the aux pump pumps the full in and the T for the vent to the charcoal canister:

I used straps from a full size Ram van so I had the most strap for customizing. Uncut strap is on the bottom:

I folded over the strap like the factory for strength:
