Update on aux fuel tank:
I bought a new 42 gallon tank that fits 92-97 suburban. Went to salvage yard and got wiring, straps to hold up tank, filler hose and cap, fuel lines, and bought hoses to extend fuel lines. I have installed tank, installed and wired gauge into dash, new fuel pump in tank, wired. now just need to connect hoses , and finish filler tube. Fill tube is a bit of a problem, but bought 2 inch exhaust pipe, and will fabricate part of filler tube from that.
Before I did all that I replaced some sensors on engine, EGR valve, O2 sensor, plugs and wires. MPG went from 5.92 to 10.35 at 60 mph,on cruise, no toad. if that keeps up I could get by with one tank!
