Diesel Aux Tank wiring

I did mine the same way as boogie cept I mounted the solenoid valve and pump on the inside of the bed adjacent to the tank. mine is permanent so I wanted the valve and pump to have the cleaner environment.

Works slick as snot since i have installed a fuel gauge for the aux also.

Heck yeah. I guess anybody who knocks the 'amount of work' involved to install this route (easily done in a Saturday) just doesn't get it :@ You're pulling one wire from the engine bay to the fuel filler area, and dealing with a few feet of fuel line.

I've flipped the switch countless times to transfer fuel on the fly. It doesn't limit you to requiring to stop if you don't need to, and you aren't stuck transferring fuel at a stop after a rest break when you could be pounding out some more miles. Maybe I don't need the rest breaks as often?

Earlier this year on a trip to Arkansas I saw a guy stopped near a fuel station who had to;
Pop his hood
Connect the pump power leads to the battery
Transfer fuel to the main tank
Roll everything back up

During this whole thing, the rest of his family had gone inside to grab snacks and do their thing, then after all of that he went inside for his turn. During this I was able to refill a 55g aux and stuff another 15+g in to the main tank.
