2000 Cherokee Fule Filter

Bill...., he needs the XJ diagram where the filter mounts above the tank instead of the WJ location in front of the tank. .

If the filter mounts above the tank, the tank would have to be removed? Ouch.

I've seen web pictures of a flap cut above the unit. I'm sure someone here had the page or the measurements.

Tank removal isn't as bad a job as it seems, at least on my TJ...I've had it out a couple of times for various reasons, but not to replace the filter yet.

It's easier when the tank is close to empty though, and when us>> The 2000 Cherokee 4.0 L and 2.5 L has "strainers" at the fuel pump.

Matt Macchiarolo did pass the time by typing:

You can also disconnect the line at the rail and run the fuel pump manually to drain the tank. Just make sure you have a good catch can and secure the hose because the pump puts out a lot of pressure and volume.

That or a hose to siphon it out. I found the pump to be faster.

Do not underestimate the weight of fuel and the difficulty of managing a sloshing tank. Anything above E is going to be a pain in the ass.

By the time I get to do my tank I'll have probably done five others. (as long as they bring beer it's all ok.) :D

The rollover check valve precludes trying to siphon the tank. Best to drain it or run it till it's almost empty.
