Just curious? Why do you need another fuel tank?
My truck holds a little over 30 gallons of diesel... that takes me 450 miles. There is no where in north America that you can't find diesel or gasoline well within a half tank.
Every 100 pounds extra weight uses 1% of your fuel economy... a 1000 pounds cuts your economy by 10%. If you are getting 15 mpg and add an extra 1000 pounds you your trucks mpg will drop to 13.5 mpg.
How much will the additional fuel and the weight of the extra tank weigh?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I have found that the one limiting factor for remote truck camper use is potable water... drinking and cooking uses a lot of water over time... hauling water still costs your mpg... but at least you'll be using it up from the first day... the fuel in the second tank may never be used.

Just something to think about
