Adding a second gas tank 1988 Travel Master
I have an 88 Travel Master (Now Coachman) which I bought and have been restoring for a year. I am road worthy but do not like the size of my gas tank. 36 gallons at 7 MPG gets me 200 miles and at 15...

It is a Ford E350. There is no room to add a larger tank because the tank is saddled between 2 beams and left and right is occupied. If I add a saddle tank, it would only fit on the passenger side, over the exhaust pipe. I think that would not be a good idea.
The 2nd tank would have to go behind the first tank and there is plenty of room. I know from my manual that there was a 2 tank option. There was a switch that was thrown to view the fuel level and switch to the other tank.
This E350 has 2 fuel pumps. One is in the tank and the other near the engine. I can tell that the fuel pumps are designed to handle 2. I just am not sure where to go from here.
I need to get another tank, bolt it up, get a fuel pump to get the fuel into the system and put a switch in to turn on one pump or the other and send a signal to the fuel gauge.
