YJ Gas Tank Questions!
I pulled my wife's tank down to install her Tuffy trunk. Installed the
trunk without trouble.
I did the 15 to 20 gallon conversion as suggested here, in the group,
without trouble.
I opened the tank and inspected the inside. The fuel tank sending unit
has been reading 1/4 tank when empty (engine dies). It looked like there
3-4 gallons in the tank. However the sending unit was telling the guage
it was 1/4 tank full. IOW, I thought the tank was nearly empty from what
the guage was telling me.
I took the unit out of the tank. Plugged it in to the harness. Let the
float hang. And the guage reads empty. So... i'm guessing it's not
picking up fuel at 3-4 gallons, where the gueage reads 1/4 tank.
1) Why is there a white plastic "bowl" in the bottom of the tank? My CJ
didn't have that.
2) How does the fuel get into the bowl when low? Slosh?
3) What kind of sealant do use to re-install the unit into the tank? It
had a flexible plasitc gasket, I kept it, it looked ok.
I bent the float up slightly, hoping that it would actually read lower,
at the guage, at the same level
Thanks for any input, wife is wanting her ride back!

Re: YJ Gas Tank Questions!
I'm guessing what you describe as a cup is a baffle and that there
are small hole in the bottom. Your stock tank should have had one,
unless someone yanked it out as they sometimes warp and bind and stop
the float from sinking with the fuel level. Plus, stock gauges are just
not accurate, that's why the are always supplemented by Hot Rodders,
whom appreciate their machines.

Use a new gasket with no sealant. That's all I know.

There may be, but I did not find one. Much like the "1 gallon flush"

Possibly, but I don't see how they got it out of the tank. My CJ tank
has pretty small holes.

Agreed.

RTV Gasket maker o.k?
