How are you going to mount the tank...1) if its a bed mount then you can just run a hose with a switch shutoff into the current tank fill pipe to keep your main tank full....2) if its a frame mount you would need a switch over valve and plumb into your supply hose to the engine you will also need a in tank pump and a fuel gauge
