Auxillary fuel tank (gas)

I will be installing an auxillary fuel tank into my pickup to extend my driving range. My truck is a 2000 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton 4x4 with the 6L. My truck is the short bed so the stock tank is pretty small. The tank I am installing is basically a home made unit from Aluminum. Can anyone offer some advice on the plumbing so I don't have evap codes and is reasonably safe?

I am going to recommend against it, but anything is possible. It will need to be completely sealed to not cause EVAP codes, let it vent through the stock charcoal canister.

Yes I know the box you mean it's just in front of the tank on my truck. Thanks for your input.
