But probably safer, smarter to rig the sub tank to the TBI and then run transfer pumps from the 20s to that...

And even as I type this I can imagine myself driving down the road, looking into the rear view mirror and seeing fuel pouring out of my tail light because I forgot to shut off the transfer pump!
I am very happy I went with the single burb tank. After giving it a lot of thought there are several advantages...

1. I found I was only filling/using 1 tank because of the pain of having to move the truck to fill the second tank. This was even a bigger problem when towing the boat because I am usually only driving the truck when towing(not sure if that will still be the case now that it will be all customized )

2. I wanted a simpler setup, no fuel switch inside the truck, no transfer valve on the frame, etc.

3. Now I have a brand new tank, new sender and new lines. Plus it will have a cool filler!

4. Safer!

Unless you really need that much fuel onboard i would think about simplifying the install and maybe just going with the single burb tank. Just my 2 cents
