Aux fuel tank slosh

I picked up a used 105 gallon inbed fuel tank for $200, I hope a good price

. Will this cause a sloshing problem when not full? I dont want to get sea-sick from a 1/2 full tank.

Second, what about water condensation inside? Is this a problem because the tank will be empty excpet when on the road, I am having a 3/4" drain plug set in the corner.

I also picked up a brand new 12v pump, hose, car nozzle, and mounting kit for $150, is this good/bad price? I plan to add a filter/water seperator inline. There will be no direct connection to the fuel system in the truck because once in a while i will bring off road diesel home for the tractor.

Suggestions?
