adding a fuel tank

i have been playing around with the idea of adding another fuel tank ( the rear tank was taken out by the guy before me and most of the stuff is there still) and was wondering what i would have to do a in bed fuel tank to it.
fuel pump and return line wize and any thing else i should know about
thanks

If your truck still has the selector valve installed, it's just a simple matter of running a feed and return from the new tank and hooking it to the lines that used to go to the rear tank.
I used to have the stock front tank and a 100gal in bed tank plumbed in on my 6.9, using the stock selector valve with no issues.

Fuel pump is on the engine if you still have the factory setup, or if truck's been converted to an e-pump then it's probably between the TSV and the engine, either way you're good to go with adding a new tank.
