In short, the ZJ tank literally just bolts into place. There's nothing to it. I'm surprised more people didn't know about this swap!

I do plan on making a follow up video with some results comparing the new range with the ZJ tank. Most recently, I traveled 345 miles before the low fuel light came on, which is farther than I could've gone with the XJ tank entirely. That was averaging 16.7 MPG, and I usually achieve 20+ MPG so assuming you hold a steady 20 MPG you'll have a range of 410 miles- BEFORE the low fuel light will come on. That's epic.
