Legal and has been done for years. Couple of trucking company’s out of Houston ran them during the Alcan Pipeline Construction. Gave them more range.

A slick thing you can do is since it will be sitting higher than the side tanks is plumb hose into a fitting on the top of one of the side tanks were a return line goes and a shutoff valve on the aux tank. When low open valve and let gravity feed the other tank. You won’t need a pump.

That is what I am thinking. My truck only has a single 150 gallon tank. The extra capacity would come in really handy and seems like it would be a lot easier to setup than trying to add another side mounted tank.

Depending on your truck setup.

The last truck I drove was a w900. Strap mounts top and bottom of frame. 2 straps and nuts. 2 fuel lines suction and return. And 2 splitters to tie the second tank in to the first. So fuel was pulled and returned from/to both tanks.

That truck originally had 2 x 120 gallon tanks. They got chopped down to accommodate Masport pump and drop axle. End result was 45 and 65 gallons for a total of 110. Yes it sucked.
