You are experiencing the day of pranks, tomorrow you should be able to spell your favorite Jeep model again.

 

Check the resistor on the drivers side of the engine compartment, forward of the windshield washer tank on the fender. there should be two wires. if that went bad you will experience pump issues

The way that your describing seems as if that rubber hose that's connected from the fuel pump to the feeding line either broke or slipped off...

If your only getting 8 gallons at fill up means that you may already have about a half a tank full and the fuel doesn't consume under that....

I have the exact same problem, fuel gauge no worky and can't put more than 10 gallons in. My working theory so far, is that the PO put in a cherokee sending assembly, because my tank is new too. Might be something worth looking into. I've been putting it off because I hate working with fuel.
