Both the TJ and later YJ tanks can be converted to 20 gallons by
trimming the vent tube. The only problem is that your gauge will read
full until the last 15 gallons start being used.

So they faked out some of the early TJ's too? I thought I remembered
something about that.

I was just reading around and found out you have a 19 gallon tank in
your 98 TJ.
If the sticker says it is a 15 gallon tank, they put a float ball
stopper in the fill tube so it shuts off at 15, but the tank is the same.
You can drop the tank and remove this ball by trimming the tube back.
Here is a link with directions about halfway down:

You then would need the 19 gallon sender or just realize your gauge just
reads the bottom 3/4 of the tank. I have had cars like that...

Why on Earth would they do something like that? You usually know what
your talking about and I'm not disputing you, it just sounds like a
really stupid thing to do... so if they really did do it I'm sure it was
to meet some goofy government regulation.
