Yeah, it's rubber and no sealer is required. Be careful not to over tighten the
bolts. Those gaskets will split and leak if over tightened.

Re: YJ Gas Tank Questions!
Good point, and if you want your fuel gauge to work "right" and not register
full when there is anything over 15 gallons, then you will install the 20
gallon unit. This seemed like a pricey alternative to me when I did the 15
to 20 gallon upgrade, so I still have the 15 gallon unit.

full when there is anything over 15 gallons, then you will install the 20
gallon unit. This seemed like a pricey alternative to me when I did the 15
to 20 gallon upgrade, so I still have the 15 gallon unit.

Re: YJ Gas Tank Questions!
Good point, and if you want your fuel gauge to work "right" and not register
full when there is anything over 15 gallons, then you will install the 20
gallon unit. This seemed like a pricey alternative to me when I did the 15
to 20 gallon upgrade, so I still have the 15 gallon unit.

I those rare instances when I will find myself going past one of those
"Last Gas for 200 miles" signs (west Texas) I won't care how full my
tank is, I'll simply top it off and carry a Jerry can. I'm really,
really interested in how EMPTY my tank is. I'd rather know how close to
empty I am than how close to full, If I had to pick. :^)
