So, what are the options for extending the fuel capacity of the XJ. I know in the old ones like my 88, we can extend the fuel tube and have 20gal in the tank, sometimes I can squeeze that in now but I have to work at it. There's always the old jerry can solution. Anyone ever done anything else? How about dual tanks?

Mod less than $10: http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoFuelTank.htm

Australian aftermarket tank: http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoLongRangeTank.htm

There are some U.S. aftermarket tanks, seems to me they ran $500+ but I'm not sure.

That's the one that I meant when I mentioned extending the tube.

I have looked I wish there was a place you could find dimensions of gas tanks, you might be able to make one work from another application
