couldnt you link them via t piece ? i.e cut it into the fuel line so it feeds off them both equally? failing that have a valve to switch between them.... youll need breathers (same as original is easiest) and also a breather/vent on top venting to the filler helps it stop slopping back at you when filling up....

Depends where you're going to put it, how close, higher or same height as original etc.
Duel tank cars tend to have a switch. (Jag, '94 Ford F250 truck I had a while back)

Mount it higher than the other one and have a outlet on the bottom flowing into the top of the other?

Not always easy to set up so that you can fill both tanks from one filler, and if you T both tanks into one feed for the engine and the tanks are not connected together the engine can empty one tank first and start pulling air down the line.
Probably easiest to set the tanks up with one electric pump per tank and have them switched like Jags used to, if the tanks are the same size you can set the fuel gauge up to switch at the same time quite easily.

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

try visiting a truck breaker as many trucks run 2 or more tanks or maybe one large truck one will fit your needs

Can't you bin the original and replace it with one twice as big?
Or get an lpg conversion done and save some money while you're at it (depending on how many miles you do of course)

I had 2 tanks on my military Land Rover - they come with a natty switch over thingy which also switches the fuel gauge. As I'd converted it to Diesel I just ran a pipe from one to the other with a Facet pump and a switch as you can't use the original system in case of air locks. They were mounted at the same height  |
