I thought about that.
Downsides:
1. The dia. of pipe would need to be big to feed the stock tank. Requiring modifications to the stock tank and cell. Otherwise, fast filling would be and issue? Vent both stock and cell?
2. I figured the organizers would look down on this from a safety standpoint. two tanks connected vs. one cell. Two vents.
Has Anyone done this?

Old Europe pics don't show up here. just post the jpeg link and we can click it. Cliffy blocks his pics to this site cause he is a child.
Check your rules first, but if you have dual -10 hose, which is 5/8th ID that will equal a nearly 1 inch hose. could it cause fast filling issues? possibly. I guess it depends how fast you are trying to pour fuel in. Faster than a gas station? Don't know, either way it can be modified to larger line. Remove the spare tire holder and it might be clearer how you could run the line. Yes the stock tank would need to be modified but you are building a lemons car so fabrication is already needed in many places.
If the cell is mounted at the same height as factory, then one vent is needed. if the cell is mounted higher, then just a single vent from the cell is needed, the factory one can be closed off, cause its no longer the high point in the system.
You can probably take your pic of where to fill from. If the top of the fuel cell is lower than the top of the stock fill tube, you could still fill from the stock fill tube.
I had the idea of doing this with a 2.5-5 gallon cell in the front to give me a few more miles range when taking long cruises. My fiero doesn't do that anymore as its mainly an around town putzer so I don't worry about it anymore. 15 miles in a day is a lot now.
