I really don't want to modify my OE tank.  Also big pipe gravity
feeding the aux tank would only work on a Syncro if you drilled a hole at
the bottom of the tank and found a leak proof way of attaching a fitting -
the fuel line are at the side of a Syncro tank..

It is
critically important for me (and others) to be able to turn everything
back to original if need be.
