It came time to eliminate the gas can that we have been using to feed the fuel pump and find out if our poly oversize fuel tank and related fuel lines had any leaks, and also to find out if the fuel gauge was accurate. We had thought that the Wrangler fuel fill assembly used the same diameter hoses as the tank (we had never checked) only to find that the vent hose went from 3/4" to 1" and the fill hose from 1" to 1 1/4". As much as we researched we couldn't find hoses with flare ends until Jeffrey discovered an offering for lengthened hoses for Jeeps with a body lift on Ebay. Allstate 4WD Warehouse, Inc. We had a relatively straight shot to the tank from the fill and these hoses were flexible

enough to straighten out. Longer than what was needed they were shortened to properly fit. Next we eliminated the gas can and plumbed the hard lines to the pump with a temporary see thru filter to catch any dirt that could have gotten in the tank, even though it had been sealed during install, just as a precautionary measure. Next 5 gal. of gas was poured in. Checked the tank for leaks, pulled the distributor feed and turned it over until fuel was visible in the filter. After checking the hard lines and the rest of the connections the distributor feed was reconnected and fired up. After finding no dirt in the filter it was removed and plumbed accordingly. The gauge needle moved slightly but not enough to register 5 gal. Later we will try for 10 gal and see what happens. But I believe adjustment will be needed which will be addressed when the body comes off for paint.
