I'm glad that you didn't use the "fuel on the fly" method, honestly. That could, depending on the state you live in, be considered a haz-mat item. I like the trailer, but I agree with some of the others concerning aerodynamics. Have you thought of doing the front end like this?

I made good progress on making it legal, got the taillight harness made, taped/loomed, and rerouted.
I pulled the whole rear harness from the firewall back, and cut everything out but the lights.
Instead of converting the brake/turn into one bulb the making new lights, or trying to convert it back somehow, I decided to make a T for the whole harness. With an extra set of connectors courtesy of link5186, I soldered it all up and tapped into the stripped down harness for the trailer.
