Re: 97 Fuel Guage and Recall on Sending Unit
Hi Gary,
I guess they could have replace your fill hose with the fifteen gallon one like: http://www.gottrail.com/TJ/TJfueltankconversion.html But, your sending unit is probably reading low, like you still have five gallons in your tank when your gauge reads empty. I surely wouldn't prove it by running it dry and cooking your fuel pump, though.

Re: 97 Fuel Guage and Recall on Sending Unit
I will go back and have them check that they put the right one in.
Hopefully they'll be "nice" about it since I only have 30,000 miles on my 97 TJ. Regards, Gary "L.W.
