I'm interested in a secondary fuel system with a switch to activate the second tank and toggle back and forth. I have no idea how to go about starting this mod. I think someone here has done this, maybe you can help?

HueyPilotVN has completed this mod, the kit is still available out of Southern California (I think they have on left anyway). I wanted it but I do not have the $

This would be an awesome install to cover.. Removing the spare tire from underneath, and installing the tire on a swing arm while installing the spare tank in an open are there the tire was.. Man we could go farther.. Still wish it was diesel.

This is mine from LRA (Long Range Automotive)...Australian company (http://www.longrangeautomotive.com.au/)..Capacity 29gal with transfer pump & LED fuel gauge on dash. Tank is for the Grand but fits the Commander. Don't be put off if you don't see it on their site..It is available.

The auxillary tank setup that I installed included the tank, sending unit, pump, guage, timer switch, hoses, skid plate, and installation.
It was done by Aero Tanks. They used to be in Corona, California but are now in San Bernadino, California. I paid $1,000 for the setup.
Jake, (the owner) did make up at least one complete kit to have in stock. Here is their web site.
