Step 4:Remove the gas cap to relieve any pressure in the tank Step 3 isconnect the negative terminal from the battery Step 2:Gather tools for the job (Genright lists the tools needed, some of mine were a little different)
Step 1:Blow off or spray off the dirt and dust under your vehicle (If you have ever done anything under yours after going offroad, you know this is a must.) These directions are partly from Genright and partly from me. I started saving and when I finally had enough for it, I saw the post from Don at 4WD Hardware about the 10% off and gift card, I sent him an email to call me and then ordered it. For those that think this is an expensive tank (it is I know), think of it like this. I had found this tank when I bought this XJ back in 2012 and at that point knew I was going to get it. For a 96 and earlier XJ you can pick up a tank nearly everywhere including amazon, but for the 97-01 you can only get them from a dealer and mine quoted me at ~$950 plus tax. I didn't really like the idea of this and immediately started looking for a new tank to put in. He told me to just not fill it up all the way and I would be fine. When I picked it up the mechanic told me they weren't able to get the threads of the new fuel pump to seal up (more on that later) with the plastic tank and that this is a common problem. They allowed me to bring my own fuel pump, which was nice, and did the work for me. I didn't have time to replace it myself and really didn't like the idea of dropping a completely full fuel tank, so I took my XJ to a shop and had them "fix" it. Story: Back in September, I had a short and fried my fuel pump. Vehicle: 1999 Limited 4.0, AW4, NP242w/Tom Woods HD SYE, 8.25 w/ ZJ Discs, OME/DPG/JKS 3.5" lift, stock bumpers (for now), OEM hitch If you don't care about the back story, skip to the next post. Some of my pictures are dark and some aren't completely in focus, but I did the best I could in the photo department. I am not a professional photographer and I definitely do not have a professional camera. This time, my brother-in-law was there to slow me down and make sure we kept taking pictures.
Usually I start out doing something to the Jeep wanting to do a write-up on it but get caught up in the moment and stop taking pictures as soon as the work starts. Let me start by saying that this is my first write-up.
