F550

We have a 2003 f550 6.0L 4x4 reg cab. I want to connect my small slip tank directly to the fuel lines and eliminate the factory fuel tank. The slip tank will sit on the flat deck behind the cab. What will be the best way to do this and will I gravity feed or will I need a fuel pump? I will not be using the factory tank due to already replaced it 3 times due to holes developing in it so tiing into the over flow in the fill neck is not an option. I want to connect directly to the fuel system. I waz thinking maybe tie into where the fuel filter is underneath on the frame rail. Thanks​​​​​​​

Won't work without a pump, you're looking at atleast $1k not inc new lines & all that. The cheapest bed tank I saw today while looking to do some fuel system repairs was only 40 gallons & cost $1050 with nothing included prior to taxes/shipping. The ones that had a toolbox/transfer tank started at twice that.
