Today I followed the FAQ write up and converted my 95 YJ to a 20 gallon tank. It only took about an hour and seems to have gone fine. A couple small things to note. In my 95 there was no reason to remove the wheel well liner as there is a metal piece between the fender well and the area behind the filler neck. There is just a small plastic piece similar to the fender well plastic that removes with just two of the plastic push screws. I haven't put it back in yet and I am considering leaving it out. The hoses are tucked up well and it seems to just collect dirt. Any reason to put it back? The biggest fight was with the hose clamp where the vent hose went into the tank; it was rotated so the screw was pointing up. I wound up having to cut part of the hose and twist it until I could get to the clamp. There was still enough to get it clamped back together at the end.
There was another hose (1/2 - 1 inch) that was plugged anchored behind the filler neck. Anyone have any idea what that is?
It wound up being a very easy, quick upgrade that I think will come in quite handy (33% more gas for free). Thanks Jeffy for outstanding instructions.
I have no doubt I have used the wrong terminology here and there. I am learning as I go, but with a lot of the write ups and info I have gotten her it is easier than I expected.
Thanks Again.

I am assuming this is the botom cover, and if you don't put it back on, it will fill up with dirt quite quickly, so I advise to put it back on.

I did the same mod on my TJ and its nice having the extra gas.

I ripped mine off on a trail and it has been an issue since, specially when I run it in the winter, mud and ice build up on the tail light wiring and it has ruined a couple wires now.

The hose that seems to be plugged is your rear axle breather. This is a nice mod.

thanks for the information, I am putting the plastic piece back and it is good to know what the "extra" tube is for.
