My 94 YJ is also closing in on 205000 miles. The fuel return line started
acting up in hot weather. While taking town the tank, one of the tank
straps had to be cut. Waiting for that part now. Before that, I was driving
around with a 1.5 gal can to get as low as possible before removal. I did
notice that that return line wasn't leaking at all since the weather got
cooler. While inspecting the hose, it was a no-brainer to also have the
fuel line replaced as well.
How did the fuel pump work out for your hesitation problem?

Well, I've been under them to change the filters, and didn't see any
other leaks anywhere, but I'll sure inspect the lines when they're
apart.
Now the funny thing. Fall has arrived in Arkansas, and the temps have
gotten more moderate. Since the 90's went away, neither Jeep has acted
up...at all. I know I'll have to replace those pumps, but it's just
gonna have to wait a bit until I slow down long enough on the weekends
to drop the damn tanks out.
