So did I little looking around a few minutes ago, definitely isn't the sending unit. Nor do I think it is the filler neck. I'd like to confirm that the filler necks are just rubber that are clamped onto the gas tank. I am still unsure, but I somehow fit my head in between the frame and the fender right where the gas tank filler neck was and it was pretty rusty - and also coated with gasoline. Now, it could have possibly stemmed from the filler next end that attaches to the gas tank, but I am still unsure. Everything is soaked though, there is basically a line (or so) from below where the filler neck attaches that is coated in gasoline. I know it is definitely not leaking any more. So, I am contemplating buying a new gas tank. For consideration, I believe it is a 16 gal tank now (correct me if I am wrong), how hard would it be to upgrade to a larger tank? I know the skid plate probably wouldn't fit on the larger tank, and I am not sure about the dimensions of the larger tanks. I have a 6ft box. Just read your post wannabeMJ. So any online website should supply the right gas tank for me? Any recommendations or should I just go to carparts.com and other similar ones to compare?

From what I can tell, it only leaks from when it is full. Filled it up to the top, drove it, parked it overnight, and coming back to it this morning, it looks like I have about 3/4 of a tank left. If that sending unit is in the back of the tank (as in closer to the middle of the truck rather than the outside) then I doubt it is that. I can see a steady stream coming down right from the front, where the rear front spring shackle is located. Surprisingly enough, the frame/subframe/underneath of this truck is completely clean. I guess it had some MetalGuard coating put on when it was first bought. I don't have any worries about the floors, but regardless I will (eventually) take out the carpet. So, the Rancho shocks that I have are from a Cherokee... What kind of work is going to be involved when I go to install the rear shocks? I'm hoping it won't be too difficult. But first off, I do want to get this tank fixed. Hopefully we can tackle the tank problem this weekend and get to the bottom of it. I will also check out those lights in the meantime, I did see a link somewhere in another thread that had replacement lights with the trim on eBay for $16.

Hey all, I just recently bought a 1988 Jeep Comanche Pioneer, 4.0 I6, 5spd manual, dana 35 rear, mostly stock. Needed a new return line for the power steering pump, replaced, and also needed new drums which I also replaced. What I did not know, and what I found out AFTER spending $45 to fill the gas tank, was that it was leaky. Going to have to drop the tank this weekend most likely, I suppose it wasn't a surprise since the truck is 23 years old? And recommendations on where I should get a new gas tank? Or will any parts website work? Also, my stepdad has some Rancho shocks left over from an XJ... will they work on my MJ? One of the leafs in the rear completely broke in half, so I am also figure if I should replace that leaf, buy whole new leaf springs and add a 2" lift to it. I don't want anything too extreme. Thoughts? Now, the courtesy lights in the cab - mine don't seem to work, no matter what position they are in. I haven't checked the fuse box yet, but I was just wondering if it was common for them to go out. Hopefully going to install a full instrument panel, currently I have all gauges except the tach. I've read up on some other sites, I remember them saying I have to replace two sensors, but that will be a while away anyways. I definitely need to get the gas tank fixed, hopefully I won't find something I don't like under there...
