Think I'm about to R&R the fuel pump in my WJ, it quit on the way to work this morning. Between codes and symptoms, still guessing at this point. Fuel pressure check is next. Mine is making that same rattling noise, similar mileage. 270,000 something. I'm going to drop the tank on my WJ, and may possibly cut an access hole in the event of future problems. The plan is to keep the WJ turn into a dedicated hunting, fishing, exploring vehicle. Thanks again. Thanks much for the video.

Dremel works great for this job. to help locate the center of the pump so you can actually figure out where to cut: 1) locate the flange that runs left to right at the front of the spare tire retention plate. (there are flanges on the left right and front sides) 2. place a straight edge running along that flange, and measure 3 1/4 inches to the right from the right end of that flange. 3. From that point, measure 2 inches toward the front of the vehicle, perpendicular to the first measurement. 4. That's the center, to within about 3/8". I also poured a bunch of water into the tank lid well as soon as I got the first holw drilled, and added more once I'd bent up a small (2x2x2 triangle.) it seems like the gas tank lid well is designed to drain water to the front left. I used about 3 cutoff wheels making the cut. None of my cut were outside the lid well, which left enough room such that I don't think the width of the wheel would actually strike the tank.

@@johnsmith3735 Easy if you have a vehicle lift. maybe, and more mechanic experience than I. A slow drill of the first hole made no sparks. There was no scent of gasoline. Pouring water repeatedly onto the top of the tank seems like a good defense against a fire/explosion. Using a small radius Dremel in the right place makes the chance of tank contact low if you are good with a Dremel. But. no argument, it is riskier -- the question is how much.

we did this on my 2001 4ltr XJ as it had an aftermarket fuel tank strapped to an LPG tank and we did not want to take both tanks out to get at the fuel pump that was much simpler to do as it was the flat floor at the back after fitting the new pump I make a removable plate about 1" bigger than the hole all around with lots of screw holes all around with self tapping screws in and a bit of selling stuff to make it water tight I'm not very impressed with that cover I must say.

Ok nice idea just like the right hand light cut out for cooling fan relay...my advice don't use the angle grinder use a fiber metal cut out flat or edges the size is from the middle of of spare tire so clock wise 1oclock and 3 o clock of the ridges is the middle of the circle the size is one inch larger diameter of the ring cover so you won't cut your fingers and have plenty of space to install it applying pressure and turning then gets harder use lubricant the marks were the ring groves startare at12oclock on tank and on mines started on cap mark 5 i use a marker pressure down evenly the whole thing twisted 2 times fast and bang with screw driver to tighten. Use same plate cut out and added rubber edges to seal with bolts and screw hedges at the local Lowes and home depot or ranch store and on top of that place a old pillow plus my tire

Sorry guys measurements are 4oclock and 2 o clock is the centers of the circle counting the ridges make sure the tank is full of gas. You use the ring as a guide one 1in larger in diameter for cut out and the short groves as a guide the circle should be closer in diameter of the short groves that is your clock numbers. Use the middle one as 12 which is have of the spare tire storage thanks again my bolts were stuck rusted and with a hentch for towing broke one bolt not even spraying with rust removal work plus time go to work 1hr drive

We'd all hope it's a job we'll only have to do once. I think the time involved in cutting and fashioning a tidy cover would be greater than the time taken to do the job tank out. I have a hoist so of course that makes it a a lot easier. Having said that I admit I've thought of doing this before ! Unusual really for a European car. My Alfas have access panels over the tank in the trunk as do my BMWs The BMWs have twin tanks accessed by removing the rear seat and the access panels underneath.
