new 32 gallon tank installed...

i dont think so..

isnt 87 the year AMC went from ford gauges to chrsler gauges?

ford being 10 ohms full and chrsler being 280!

you're probably right, I misunderstood his post...

Do you think that version of fuel sending contraption would work on the Blazer 25 gallon tank? I already have one of those but will be using an external fuel pump (still carb'd). The tank looks exactly the same except doesn't hang down as low.

I don't see why not?

any special hole saw for the sender opening?

I had a harbor freight hole saw kit designed for wood in my cabinet, it has 6 or 7 different sizes in there, figured I'd wreck one making this hole, well it breezed through it in no time and came out just fine!

marked holes for the gasket, predrilled them small, then used some self-tapping screws to secure it all in place, oh, and a bunch of fuel resistant RTV, that's what the blue stuff is...

very nicely done! i used an xj tank but it doesnt hold much

think the sender setup is going to be fine! I transferred the leftover fuel from the old coffin tank, powered up and the level read ~7/16 ish of a tank which would be pretty close to what I have in there, plus it seems to always show a bit more fuel when the rig is actually running. Happy!

Good looking addition to your wag!



Where did you get that diagram? Is there one for the new Wags? I need it for my 91.

Thanks

It's from the service manual or "tsm", I believe I got it off www.oljeep.com, he has a bunch of nice resources there including the tsm for my 76 which I downloaded...

what is the dia of the tank opening?

larger than jeep, smaller?

3-1/2" if I remember correctly. Tank came with O-ring and locking ring. I used a square flat metal electrical box cover for the cap, it was a buck and just drilled what holes I needed and turned the square into a circle with the angle grinder

did ya test it before install?

Yes I did, it was perfect

[Kenall]

fuel sender is debatable yet, haven't had much time with it. Put 7ish gallons in it, tank shows just above empty. I measured resistance at the pickup, 59 ohms, 41 at the splice to the factory wire.... I think I may be missing something and maybe I can't just splice these together...
