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

philthy

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

yet.

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