Title: 97 TJ fuel cell question
Post by: BatesOffroad on November 27, 2010, 04:32:34 PM
Ok I've got a 97 TJ my plans are stretch the rear axle back 5".  So I need to replace the fuel tank and there is no way I'm gonna spend $1000 to do that. I just want to buy a fuel cell and pump. But what pump should I buy to get the correct fuel pressure?

Generic fuel cell, RCI 2161A.  Cut your own hole for the sender/pick-up.

That ring works well, my buddy used in on the stretch tank he made himself, darn thing is expensive though, Gen Right wants over 200 bones for it

I dont know why I never thought of that I serched all day yesterday for ideas. I even seen the threaded ring on genrights site! :puzzled: I think thats what I'll do those street rod cells look like they fit perfect.
Thanks for the info guys!

If you don't have a back seat and want more fuel there is a 30x12x12 that's 19Gallons.

I think there are a few guy's on Pirate4x4 who make different TJ rings.

What makes the TJ setup special? Seems like its cheaper to buy another pump and just use through fitting mounts.
Is the TJ fuel pressure same as a YJ?

That's what I'd do.  No need for the stupid all-in-one sender.

I believe RCI has a solid state fuel guage thats adjustable as well.
Just goes through a vent bug in the tank.

Yup, comes with one but the sender won't work with the Jeeps.  You'd need a new sender or gauge.

TJ has the FPR integrated and is 49psi, YJ has the FPR on the injector rail and sits at 39psi.

It would be pretty simple to add an inline FPR though.  You would also need to add a fuel filter IIRC.

yep, that should be simple if you go with a custom thank, you need a return back in the tank that's all.
