Re: 2000 Cherokee Fule Filter
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 -- DougW |

Re: 2000 Cherokee Fule Filter
The rollover check valve precludes trying to siphon the tank. Best to drain
it or run it till it's almost empty.
