Fuel Gauge sending unit, do I have to drop the tank to access?

#1 March 30th 05, 01:07 PM

I have an erratic fuel gauge in my TJ 91. It will read from 3/4 to full
when there is should be approximately 1/2 tank. I see some trouble
shooting techniques online which I will try. Any suggestions here would
be appreciated. But lets say it is not the gauge or the wiring, will I
have to drop the tank to replace the sending unit? Is it a pain in the
ass to do? I will order a service manual but I'm curious about what I
have to do.

Yes.
YJs made between '87 and '96 TJs '97 up.
Factory Service Manual for the TJ is similar to this XJ fuel
system: http://www.billhughes.com/01XJfuelPump.pdf
