Little project idea here guys. Ive got a 2.8 dmax canyon and it has been upgraded to no longer require def a while ago but now it sits with an empty 5.5gal tank in the back that could be used as an aux fuel tank imo. Thought process is i tap the power and ground to the pump and put in an inline switch somewhere in the cab. maybe in the glovebox or center console idk yet, then use the stock level sensor to read how full the tank is. For the fluid side i remove the stock hose for DEF and route a new one into a tee fitting that is cut inline for the filler neck.
when i am low on diesel i flip the switch, which turns on the pump, pumps down the aux tank into the main tank, and then when i read say 20% in the aux (the info pannel DEF level page) i shut it off gives me an additional 100 miles of range more or less.
Thoughts? anyone know if there is a way to mod the dashboard to read AUX level from the stock DEF level?
I havent really taken anything apart yet back there to see if i have always on power to the def tank pump but i assume i do somewhere i can tap into.
