Fumes from Aux Fuel Tank in Bed?

The search for a aux tank has narrowed down to Trans Flow. Ben Winters (Mgr) assured me that a 98 gal tank in the bed with a camper fill neck kit thru the shell, will not make my bed with the Snug Top shell smell like a fuel station!

What think you? If it's vented under the truck and fills from the outside, will it be okay?

BTW, I decided against the OEM replacement tank (54) gal. More bang for the $ with the 98 gal....

BTW, They have their own fuel sender they use on their aux tanks, but the OEM replacement was designed to utilize the OEM sender

I harped on the mgr about the sender problems but que sera sera....
