Finally a video of reassembling the ‘dropped tank’. I hope I put the fuel intake hose in the right fuel line.

Funny but this is exactly what I wanted to see. Can smell some fuel when I fill mine up. Thanks

[@MyShayShow]

Any idea what the torque is for the fuel pump gasket bolts?

[@djsuretay1]

What size jack did you use

[@gj5250]

Wow I was hoping to see how easy or hard it was reaching in to reinstall the fuel inlet and vent hoses back on the tank. Darn

[@offthejeepend178]

You could try to drop the tank a little and jack the rear of the body up, that may give you enough space

[@nickwentzell1367]

Did you remove your exhaust pipe while installing? If so, do you have to remove it or does it just give more space?

[@offthejeepend178]

I did it with the exhaust pipe out if I remember correctly, but it can be done with it in. Maybe just take the muffler hanger off of the supports and tailpipe hanger

I need to replace my bolts. What size bolts did you use to replace ?

[@offthejeepend178]

I would bring the best bolt you have and match it at the hardware store, if your talking about the 3 toward the front, I used 1/2 head about 1.5 inches long with matching nut

[@rickyslomka]

Hey do you remember what size bolts you used for the front of the skid plate

[@offthejeepend178]

I think they are just 1/2 inch

[@MyShayShow]

Are the gas lines (hoses) different sizes? Also, you said the ‘top’ line goes to which fuel line on top of the fuel pump?

[@offthejeepend178]

They should be the same size, I believe on the fuel pump the forward most connection goes to the inline filter "Supply".

[@MyShayShow]

@@offthejeepend178 Thank you for your reply. From these photos, can you tell which is which? drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LAyqSRIXykaTNK7M-R-9wAh6XeVknI8Z?usp=sharing

What was that Tool that you used to Pull the Bolt down while you unscrewed the Nut?

It's a fastener removal tool.

[@mrlaw711]

did you have to replace any of the bolts? You didn't say.

[@offthejeepend178]

The front three bolts, I had to add new metal to the lip on the frame and drill new holes with new bolts. In the rear I had some carriage bolts laying around to replace some of the rusted old bolts.

[@jackhardy3513]

What type of fuel lines did you say to buy?

[@offthejeepend178]

I used 3/8 ID fuel hose

[@christopherboots4412]

What skip plate did you buy? And do you still like it?

[@offthejeepend178]

I think it was dorman OEM style, and it holds up well

[@__Chronic_Chris]

What size fuel hose did you use?

[@offthejeepend178]
