If you want to do it on the cheap, why not call around some wrecking yards and source one from a simmilar model and just run it higher and fed it into your 1st tank??? Let gravity feed from the aux into the other. Failing that, just weld up a box shape tank and use it as a aux tank and use gravity again? Sure beats paying for a long range tank, or paying for an aftermarket aux.
