Greg, Nicole got me a dead pedal for Christmas. I installed it right before the snoball500 pre run. I've loved it for the past 10K I've put on the raptor. With all the driving you will be doing with minimal stops, I highly suggest you install one ( if you don't already have one).

WSI might be able to fab you one out of aluminum since wicked is non responsive...

Greg, Go to the Secretary of State and file for a hazmat license endorsement. I'm not entirely sure when its going to happen but anyone driving a vehicle with another fuel tank or reserve other than what has been installed by the factory is going to be subject into having a hazmat endorsement. I have to have one because every vehicle I tow has a fuel tank and therefore it is attached to my truck therefore it is considered a auxiliary fuel tank according to DOT. Even landscaping company drivers are going to need them for all the gas powered equipment in their trailers that they tow around because the trailer is attched to the truck. Not sure what everyone else's laws are but check on that quick. I had to have a background check done, finger prints, and everything. It's not a one day thing. Just saying so that you cover your asses. Anyone that is going to be driving your rig will need one if they havent started enforcing this already.

I have been digging through piles of paper and legal jargon trying to get to the bottom of this.. EVERY stinking state is freaking different in the verbage.. Some states as long as the vehicle motor can not be operated by tank it is consider a transfer tank and not aux tank. Then another state any tank carrying gasoline is considered aux tank irregardless of method of fuel transfer if the tank is larger that 50 gallons. And then the method of measurements of capacities (external measurement vs total fluid capacity irregardless of bladder/foam cells size) if the tank is solidly attached to the frame or subcomponet of the body.. And this is not even counting crossing the border and comming back across.. BLAH Blah blah.... Thinking it will just be easier to forget the transfer tank then dealing with all the various rules, regulations, and mumbo jumbo..
