Zenobian_84 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 This question is purely hypothetical, but important to know. If for some reason my fuel sender decides to take a dump, *knock on wood* since there are no retailers that sell replacement fuel senders, what would I have to do other than getting one from another MJ? Basically; fuel sender dies, don't want to find another MJ and nab fuel sender, which gas tanks are compatible to fit on the MJ? IIRC, I've heard that Dakota ones can be swapped because they're virtually the same... but am unsure at the moment... :hmm:
banshee Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Just type in year and ‘Comanche fuel sending unit’ in your search engine that’s how i found mine… B..
Zenobian_84 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 Found out that there are replacement fuel senders (Completely new to me.. :hmm: ) Next question is: Would a replacement sender have to be a floater, or can it be electronic?
banshee Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 give me a second or two and I'll post a link to mine... B...

For 1987 2.5's Pick and choose from the one's listed. Not sure if they are an exact fit though. http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/searc ... ng+Unit%29 For Renix 4.0's (? Not sure about the HO's) and 2.1 Diesels http://www.makeitjeepparts.com/seccat/c ... 7/6/31427/
Zenobian_84 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 :hijack: Getting back to the original question... If I have to swap in another tank, are there any other truck tanks I can swap in?
jimoshel Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 How good are your fab skills? An MJ tank is the only tank that is a direct bolt in. However there are several tanks can be made to fit. The biggest problem is getting the filler tube in the right place, or just cut another hole in the bed, not recommended. Just don't pull the 70'S Wagoneer stunt and have the hose go up over the frame and into the tank. If you weren't parked on a steep slope it was almost impossible to top them off.

If only I could swap the two, I'd rather have great metal working abilities than making an interior cabin look factory pristine. :doh: Appreciate the insight though (and the story) :thumbsup: Guess I'll keep an eye out for an MJ gas tank I can pilfer.
btm24 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 I think it was a TJ fuel tank that will fit where the stock tire is. Try looking up that. Brandon
mvusse Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Most stores sell Cherokee senders and there computers tell them Comanche ones are the same. THEY ARE NOT. But supposedly a Cherokee one does fit in an aftermarket Comanche tank that does not have the pan in the bottom.
