This last winter I installed Aux Fuel Tank in my Gl1800/Champion trike. It took some thought but the result is worth having.
I used a TourTank 8X14 with a vent in the cap and an outlet on the underside at the other end. I used the tank straps that came with the tank to mount to a modified rear fender on the Gl1800 and tied down the back of the tank to the bar that holds the shocks on the trike kit and the front to the plastic rear fender. I ran the main line 1" to the bottom of the main tank and a vent line from the cap 1/4" to the top of the tank by the orginal tank vent. I made sure that the cap on the tank was as tight as I could get it. It clears the rear end with plenty of space. Basically it works the same as the CSC but for about $250.00. The tank holds 3.5 gals. I can go about 300 miles and then I need gas. I have tested this.
My wife says it looks like a little pig stuffed under the seat.
I didn't have to modify the relays on the starter or under the seat.
I have been using it from about Febuary and it works without fail. It fills promptly when filling the main tank but it does take a little longer because you are adding another 3.5 Gals.
The big test is we are going to PEI this August. I don't expect any problems with the tank.
I have not been able to find the TourTank 8X14. Can you give me a web site. Also your attachment is not valid at tis time. I to have a Champion trike and I need the tank. I pull a large camper.
Interesting. I was informed by several mechanics and a friend in the oil refining business to use Marine Sta-Bil with every fill up. Guess the marine version has 3-4 times the cleaning agents and takes care of the ethonal problem.

The problem could be your responding to a 6 year old thread.
Most HD dealers sell a 1 gallon fuel tank designed for travel for around $25
