Increase Jeep Wrangler Gas Tank Capacity For Free

- Lots of forums will tell you that the 15 gallon and 20 gallon Jeep gas tanks are the same tank with different filler hoses, but is it really as simple as cutting a hose to get a higher capacity? Yup! We will take a look inside the tank to see exactly how to fit a few more gallons into it. I can't take all the credit @unofficialuseonly taught me this trick.
This Jeep is a 1994 YJ I cannot guarantee that this works on other models of Jeeps or even other years of YJ. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

"Rumor has it" , this wasn't a rumor. Greg from Unofficial Use Only was kind enough to tell you about this trick.
On the first generation Wranglers the tube is a pass-through design and can be yanked from the outside of the tank. However if you don't want to chance it leaking I recommend reaching inside and trimming just like you did. Now the second generation Wrangler known as the TJ, the internal hose is not a pass through design and you have to remove the pump and do it exactly how you did. The 20 plus gallon tank on both models only leaves approximately 1 in of tube on the inside of the tank.
That's why I have a link to your channel in the description and cards
@@JeepSheepTV I would have known that if I would have actually read the description instead of just commenting immediately on your awesomely informative video
Do I need the 19gallon pump and assembly or the 15gallon, plan on doing both at the same time???
Had my mechanic do this when he had to replace fuel tank straps to pass inspection (was replacing fuel lines anyway). Great having the extra capacity!
This is a great mod! I did this a few years ago on my YJ, I didn’t drop the tank though I just squeezed a channel lock pliers between the frame and tub and yanked that tube out in about 10 minutes.. I don’t have any body lift either so there’s just enough room.
Good to see you are still making content, when I did this mod, I got a total of 21 gallons capacity. My Jeep ECU project has progressed to the point I can now read and flash the EEPROM without dissembling the ECU, so now you can clone a 4 cyl Jeep ECU onto a 6 cyl YJ or ZJ ECU to keep as a backup.
Dude that's awesome! I'm sure that will be helpful as the 4cyl ECU continues to become more and more rare.
That is a double wall tube. Needle nosed pliers can slip inner piece out and cut it then push it back in!!
Yes, it works on the Jeep TJ. Did this mod about 2 years ago on J.J. for more fuel range. Actually made a video of the process on my channel as well. Love the mod! Thanks for posting
Do you have that video
@@brianbritton6555 yes sir.

I had my tank out last Spring. I wish I would have known about that then. Oh well. Great video! Thank you for sharing this information! While I had the tank out, I removed the tray in the bottom. It was warped a lot more than yous.
Where can I get the inner tray of the friend tank where they sell it
On the 88yj you can pull vent tube from the outside!! It telescopes into the outer housing.
I did this to my 92 YJ. I did not drop the tank I just pulled the hose out from the nipple. Cut around 3 to 4 inches off. And I get a little over 20 gallons in the tank. Just when people do this you May's have some space for expansion of the fuel . Saying this so no one will cut it too short. Much easier then dropping the tank.
Liam, This also can be accomplished by removing the stem from the outside without dropping the tank. It’s rather difficult to pull it out but not impossible. Once it’s out, just cut the hose and reinstall.
Obviously, you can’t get to the gauge unit, but if it’s working, no need.
Finally received the Bronco notification on the estimated build of 5/30/2022. It will possibly be at the Dealership in July. That’s almost two years since my original reserve.
Man, that's crazy. I was just driving around in a Bronco that I borrowed from a friend for a thing at work. It was pretty fun. I was telling my coworker that I wasn't sure if you had gotten yours yet.
Thanks
Hey my friend. I have a 2.5l dakota. While I’ve done some of the modifications that you detail in your channel, im considering the c230 kompressor supercharger. Im wondering which mods are absolutely necessary to pull it off.
My 88 has the metal fuel tank that is smaller dimensions that what you are showing . I just can squeeze 14 gallons in it
97 Dodge Dakota 2.5L 4 cylinder,Is this process the same?
friend, the internal deposit of the tank so that the gasoline pump does not dry out, mine did not bring it where I buy it, what is it called, where do I place it? Please if you can help me I would be grateful
been here, done this. worth it. now i just need to figure out a partition for running farm diesel with my TDI conversion with a testable green diesel hole for the tax man
Fascinating.
Just pull the inserted tube, comes out pretty easily. No need to go inside the tank.
So my gauge originally was actually empty at 1/4 of a tsnk, now thay i shortened that breather line, it goes to empty
Bonus!
@@JeepSheepTV I guess!! It all worked out!!
4 cyl didn’t need extra gallons or weight. Longer vent cut capacity back
To 15 gal. 6 cyl didn’t care about extra weight. Short vent made 20 gal. You can get 20 gal in 4cyl tank if you take your time at pump and milk it in. !!!!
