Here is a set of pictures of my Frybrid style DIY two tank system. No tank preheater, which you probably will need in NE. I think this one cost me about $800 to set up, but I had a parts car with an older system to pull from. A fuel pressure gauge is just the handiest thing to have on one of these setups.

I would never do a one tank system unless I was planning a one-way trip.

If you dont have the time/will/patience/enthusiasm/$$ to install a robust system, Id just run regular diesel.
