2000 Cherokee Fule Filter
 
I just purchased the 2000 Cherokee with 135k miles. I'm trying to snuff
it up all the way around. The fuel filter is my next concern. Where is
it located??? Can't seem the find it. Do I need to install an inline
filter? What is you recommendation? Thanks from a new Jeep driver.

Bill...., he needs the XJ diagram where the filter mounts above the tank
instead of the WJ location in front of the tank.

The 2000 Cherokee 4.0 L and 2.5 L has "strainers" at the fuel pump.
Here is a photo of the fuel pump and strainers:
http://www.rockauto.com/ref/Carter/D....PI.P74186.jpg

In the late '90s these strainers at the fuel pump rather than a stand
alone fuel filter became common for many vehicles. I don't know if
Jeep recommends these strainers be replaced as part of routine
maintenance.

I've seen web pictures of a flap cut above the unit. I'm sure someone here

if it has a replaceable fuel filter it is grey and suits infront of the gas tank
near the left upper shock mount and is attached to the underbody by 2 screws . if
you don't see it there then it's in the gas tank and is a 100k service item

Tank removal isn't as bad a job as it seems, at least on my TJ...I've had it
out a couple of times for various reasons, but not to replace the filter
yet.

It's easier when the tank is close to empty though, and when using a floor
jack to lower it.

You can also disconnect the line at the rail and run the fuel pump manually
to drain the tank. Just make sure you have a good catch can and secure the
hose because the pump puts out a lot of pressure and volume.

That or a hose to siphon it out. I found the pump to be faster.

Do not underestimate the weight of fuel and the difficulty of managing
a sloshing tank. Anything above E is going to be a pain in the ass.

By the time I get to do my tank I'll have probably done five others.
(as long as they bring beer it's all ok.) :D

The rollover check valve precludes trying to siphon the tank. Best to drain
it or run it till it's almost empty.
