Help: fuel pump question
Ok, I am a newbie to the forum, so if I say something really newbiesh you know why
I have a 2005, 1 ton dually and I have purchased a bed mount aux fuel tank. I picked up everything necessary to install the tank however, I have recently found out that the fuel pump on an '05 is inside the tank. Since this will not help me with the aux tank, I need to get a fuel pump to "pull" fuel from the aux tank. I have no intention on modifying the engine to reach the 500hp "barrier" in the future. I plan on installing a Quad or some other program modifier before years end. I pull a 28ft 5th-wheel and a 3 horse trailer (not together) .
This is where I can use some help from some subject matter experts. I have read some threads regarding the Holley "blue" and even though Holley says that it should not be used w/diesel, several posters have said that theirs has run fine so long as it is mounted pump down. Looking at some of the formulas posted, I am probably needing some value greater than 95gph and the Blue should do it.
Now the caveat, I intend on running Biodiesel 100 within the next year.
Question: Which pump would work best for my application?
Any input is appreciated.

Gravity Feed.
Northern Tool is one of the most popular responses for these. They have a kit for $60 that connects to your fill hose and the return hose right there behind the 'gas' cap.
In this solution your fuel gauge will read full for quite a while until the aux tank is used up. Or you can turn the valve on the tank and only gravity feed when you want to.
