Hi Group, This is a continuing problem for "98TJ will not start". Turns out it is a fuel pump problem and I have received a new Mopar fuel pump. The new pump looks the same and has exactly the same dimensions as the one I removed.
The problem now is that I cannot install it. It is almost 1cm too long. Compressed all the way it will not let the pump seat on the gasket.
This does not let me put the "lock nut" on. I can get only about 1 thread. I have tried putting the old one back on and have the same problem. The person I bought the jeep from told me a while back that he had removed and reinstalled the pump to make sure it was set for 19 gal. He is not available, so can't ask him how he did it.
The bottom of the tank does not seem to be distorted. I am at a loss for a solution.
I appreciate all the input in finding this problem and now need more help. Any suggestions? Thanks, Al __ Arold "Al" Green
