Bacon Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 will a gas tank skid from a 96 xj fit my swb 91 mj? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 gas tanks aren't even similar so no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Not even close. The xj tank is one smaller. The skid plates mount totally differently as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Not even close. The xj tank is one smaller. The skid plates mount totally differently as well Both of my XJ's have 20 gallon tanks. I plan on mounting it behind the cab when I swap in my 4.0HO motor. I plan on using my XJ skid plate as the mount and to protect it from the driveshaft. So I'll be selling my MJ skid plate. I thought my MJ had a 18 gallon tank so I would be gainning a couple of gallons of fuel. I did get 21 gallons in my 95 XJ once after cleaning the suger out of the tank... :roll: That was a prank played by some tenants at an apartment I used to manage. :nuts: Payback was quite enjoyable. Don't mess with a techs ride, we know all the tricks. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Long bed MJ's have 24 gallon tanks :brows: The big thing is the way they nount. The XJ skids have four bolts down each side (at least the Skid row one i have does) and the MJ tank has a funky way of mounting with hangers on the inside, and bolts to the frame on the outside( which almost always strip out in the frame making it impossible to remove) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Long bed MJ's have 24 gallon tanks :brows: 86 MJs had the option of a 24 gallon tank. Although I can't imagine why anyone would want the standard 16 gallon tank. :nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Both 89's I owned had the big tank. I thought they were standard :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I can't figure out what size tank my MJ has.......at the most, with the needle almost laying on E, I can get 11.5 gal in it. But I don't know if the gauge sender is accurate, and I don't want to run the pump dry trying to figure it out. I just fill it around every 175 miles or so (netting roughly 16 mpg :oops: ) Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Both 89's I owned had the big tank. I thought they were standard :oops: AFAIK it was standard in 89. Only 86 has the baby tank available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
