Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 idk if yall ever changed out the fuel pump before, but if you did then you know how it goes in. the fuel pump cannot sit right and the sending unit cover will not seal, even w/o the gasket cause the angles too bad. I'm 99.9% sure its because of the dents in this tank thats causing the fuel pump to sit much higher than its supposed to be. any ideas how to fix dents?

jimoshel Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 There is no dent there that would prevent a fuel pump assembly from fitting right. Your probably hitting the rim that goes around the fuel reservoir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody4359 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 did you put in a new sending unit/pump or did you just pull the parts out, paint it and try putting it back together? if its a new sending unit its a cherokee one and will not fit without mods, if its the stock u probly just need to patiently fiddle with it til it goes back from where it came.

I bet this is the case. Parts stores sell Cherokee sender assy's as Comanche ones... They won't fit. You have to put the pump on to the MJ sender and do it that way. Rob L.
