Good video. Two additional points - look for an attached ground strap on the filler nozzle, and if it’s still there, disconnect it before you drop the tank (if it’s missing, replace it to avoid static discharge when you’re at the pump). Once the tank is off the Jeep, inspect the filler nozzle for rust. If it’s rusty even a little, remove the filler nozzle, de-rust the part and repaint. The reason for this is you can’t get a new filler nozzle, and since it’s a part that often rusts out, you’ll probably have a Devil of a time finding a replacement at a wrecking yard. Better to keep the nozzle you’ve got in top shape so you don’t have to deal with that issue.

Excellent video and was bang on perfect to help me get my TJ tank a skid plate off and replaced. I never would've figured out the electrical connection since my red tab was more brown and VERY stuck.

Thank you for this excellent educational video. I appreciated the additional cautionary notes on the bolting of the tank back in place. Carry On Sir!

Thanks for the tip on removing the wheel for better access to the tank connections. Seems obvious when you say it, but I probably would have struggled to reach them from under the tank for 15 min before figuring it out myself :)

I dont know how you got that electrical connection off so fast ? I have been out in the garage for three hours trying to get that freeeeeekin thing off. Holy crap I cant get any of them off 😂🤣😂 You make it look waaaay to easy

Awesome video! Exactly what I needed for my project tomorrow. Thanks!!!!

Thank you for this. I enjoyed it. Very informative. With very good descriptions. I am about to tackle this job. I recommend this video for anyone looking to diy a fuel pump/tank replacement.

Thanks buddy. And that jeep in the background is freaking killer!!!!

Excellent instructional video. I did the same thing with the rear diff vent hose removing my fuel tank. Had a good little laugh about that. Great job!

Informative. I’ve found that the tank is in the way of removing the T55 bolt that mounts the rear track bar to the axle. But I’m also replacing the fuel pump and skid plate, so there ya go.

You rock sir. Thanks

Great video , guy knows what his is doing simple and straight to the point!!!!!

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

Great video! Great info and descriptive! Gonna drop the tank in my 05 to fix the valve in the tank that sticks either open or shut.(mine is open) (Future video suggestion. Y’all did great, it would be awesome to know the socket sizes we need going into the job, obviously that’s being picky and spoiled 😆. But still, it’s nice going into a job knowing the sockets we will need lol)

Second time watching this video. Very helpful! Thank you

Good video, thanks for showing where to unplug hoses and wire, didn't know that you could get to them by taking tires off, other videos I looked at , showed dropping and then unplugging I am using a motorcycle jack to replace mine, seems to be sturdy

Thanks! Great video with minimal window dressing.

Great video ...thanks

Thanks for the video I'm about to drop my tank to repair rear frame

Thank you great instructions

Great video Ty

Thank you

Takes me back,just filled my tank my strap broke and I'm driving down the road with a stream of gas luckily I pulled in a station luckily there was a junkyard near me with the same make and model I picked it up and changed it and went on my way

Really appreciate this tutorial. I'm about to drop my tank to repair some rust holes in the rear cross member (not where the bumper mounts, where the rear of the tank skid mounts). The holes are on each side of the member, close to each frame rail. Because I appreciate this vid so much I immediately checked out your website to see if you have a repair kit. Might be something you want to offer in the future. Could use it for my LJ. Thanks again for the vid!

Good video. I'm going to be putting a fuel cell in the back of my Jeep soon and was wondering how to remove the stock tank.

Thank you Going to drop the tank on my yj because some old nasty gas

What size do you use to remove. 12mm

Was hoping I can do this at my home.. but looks like I'm going to need to take it to shop ugh...don't have jack with special plates support..dont know why a 98 wrangler have the fuel filter inside the tank... a dumb design.

My tj feed line from the fuel pump to the hard line broke....what part do I need to buy....part# ?? my tj has a 6 lift.

Do you have a video showing how to replace the front bolts for the fuel tank (on is sheared, one just spins) 😞😢

The best rust repair kit is demanding that your local government stop spraying the roads with a metric ton of salt every year. I live in a place where it snows and freezes like crazy for almost 9 months, we dont use salt and its still only dummies who slide off the road and crash.

How long did it take to replace the tank? From start to finish?

What year is the Wrangler TJ ? I have a 1998 w/4.0L and its impossible to find a replacement gas tank for that year. You forgot to mention "bleeding of the Fuel Injection Rail. There's a cap on what looks like a tire valve. Let fuel pressure off there. Some say just taking off the gas cap relieves some pressure but I don't buy that. By your plate Illinois rust belt my friend. I'm here in Dallas Texas. My 1998 TJ has been siting 10 yrs now. Two tires actually blew from dry rot. On concrete slight nice surface rust on hood /body. Underneath again light surface rust for 20+yrs old. Overall it needseverything Cat was rattling, Clutch need replacement (original 180K) AC shot. bypassed with different belt. Brakes original untouched in rear I was starting it and driving around the block then came the the day no start. The usual happens life , no funds etc etc. So I was starting to build a game plan to try to start him. Tank and lines are probably just varnish gummed. but can't find a new replacement tank anywhere. Seems to be a couple pumps available what's the different one for 4.0L the other for 2.5 L. I think 1998 was 15 Gal Tank for both. Any suggestions ?

how many gallons is the TJ gas tank?

What year TJ is this?
