I like simple so I installed an RDS tank and used their gravity flow kit to attach to the OEM fuel filler line. No pump needed.
You can buy the kit for $50-$70 I think. Just yesterday I was in a CW that was even selling the kits. Or just contact RDS.
Install a manual on/off valve to the tank, then use the kit. The kit includes a 1-way valve that stops the flow of fuel when the OEM tank is full and fuel starts backing up the OEM filler line.
The one drawback is that these things work slowly - probably because the line from the aux tank to the filler line is so small. Might be 3/8. But it will flow more fuel then you will use when driving so it WILL fill the OEM tank while driving. I usually flip the manual valve to 'on' when I stop at a rest stop, or for dinner, or (usually) overnight.
Mine works like a champ. Been using it for 2 over years. Simple works.
