Re: wiring for extra fuel tank

i put mine in the bed and used gravity to put it in my front tank, with a ball valve in line, so i can take it out if need be. if you dont want to do that i would suggjest getting a small 12 fule pump and run it off a switch in the cab, mabey put an oil pressure switch in there some where so it shut off if there isnt any oil pressure in case of an accident.

Re: wiring for extra fuel tank

You dont need to buy another pump,the factory pump will draw from the 3rd tank just like it does the other 2, just put a pickup and return in the aux tank and buy a 6 port pollak valve. The valve comes with the wiring diagram and the switch. Put the new valve on the frame rail between the existing fuel valve and the engice compartment and do the wiring and plumbing. The pollak is exactly the same as the oem valve except it has hose barbs instead of push lock fittings and the plug is a little different. You can also get a fuel guage custom made for any depth tank that will work with our dash mounted fuel guages. That way when you switch tanks it will switch the guage to read the 3rd tank.

Re: wiring for extra fuel tank

I just noticed that the ones on ebay do NOT come with the selector switch. Its no big deal, its easy to wire a DPDT switch to reverse the polarity to make the valve work.
