MJ fuel tank replacement

I have a new to me 88 MJ, shortbed, 4.0L, auto, SporTruck.

I filled the tank for the first time finding a problem . . . leaking precious $2.00/gal fuel.

I have combed the internet seeking an alternative tank to replace the original 18 gal. Does anyone know if another Jeep tank would work (i.e. Cherokee, Wrangler)? Will a MJ longbed tank work in a shortbed?

The going rate for a Comanche tank from an aftermarket store ranges from $200 to $300. Other Jeep tanks are quite a bit cheaper, and easier to find.

Thanks.
 
The shortbed tank is smaller than the longbed. I don't think a longbed tank will fit,but haven't tried it. Cherokee tank is wider and shallower.
