I put this in my stock tank awhile back.
Had me a little nervous.

does that mean your fuel pump actually sucked and liquified some of the varnish on the inside of your tank? :elkgrin:

What I think it means is that they really aren't a 20 gallon tank. That is why the vent trick works. The tank is more like a 23 or 25 gallon tank.
Gas expands considerably and there has to be a safety area for it to expand into.
In fact you have to be very very careful doing that vent trick or you can end up pushing gas into the evap canister which will cost you lots of money.

I can never get more than right around the 16 gallon mark in my XJ as well.. i find it hard to believe i have another 4 gallons in the tank..when the lights was on the last 30 miles.

Modified vent pipe
With a recent replacement of my fuel pump I opted for the modified vent pipe option. With the fuel gauge on Empty but without the warning light yet on I put in 22.2 gallons.
However, best to abide with the advise not to fill up this way and then park the vehicle as with a little rise in temp., fuel will flow out of you filler cap. :Wow1:
Thanks,

Logic... it often eludes me more than i care to admit.
Since were on the topic of Marcus' vent mod, how much needs to be burned off before allowing the vehicle to sit in the sun? 3 gallon or so sound realistic?

Are they OBD II compliant and do you know how much?
