What color is the exhaust smoke? (clear, black, white, blue, etc)
What position is your ammeter switch in?

The HBL5100R5W link shows it's rated for 347/600 volts, which seems like overkill.

The other 803 is on a custom...
How do you intend to fill the tank? Will you be doing it by hand with fuel cans, or are you planning to have a truck come deliver fuel to your aux tank?
If you're expecting a truck, make sure you have adequate space for them to park. Also, some fuel suppliers won't send a truck unless you're...
