18 gallons (or whatever it is) isnt enough?

Ive never heard of it being done, but it would be just like an aux tank on another vehicle. Need new tank and preferably in-tank pump, and either splice it into the lines before the filter and use a switch to control which pump is pumping or use the aux to fill the stock as needed.

Just mounting the tank and getting a good shield on it will be trickey, running the lines is the other issue, unless you have a body lift space in that area is tight.

You could also possibly (depending how high you can mount tank #2) run the filler into that tank and just use it as an extension of the stock tank, letting it drain into it as needed.

So, why are you asking because this sound like an absolute waste of time.

Ya, but you would need to do that quite a few times to make up the time/,money put into the install.
