I have a 96 XJ. The factory tank got dented, so I replaced it with an Aero Tank 32 gal aux tank. This tank dented and cracked.... so today I pulled a tank (pump assembly and everything) off a 93 XJ in the junk yard.
My 96 XJ has 5 wires on the fuel pump wiring harness and a different connector than the one on the 93. However two of the wires were cut and wrapped off when my Aero Tank was installed.
So I now have 3 wires going to my fuel tank area. I assume red is power, black is ground, and yellow is for the sending unit.
The harness on the 93's tank also has three wires. They are orange (maybe red?), purple, and black.
Can someone tell me if I am correct in thinking orange is power, purple is the sending unit and black is ground? Can I just splice these together and be GTG?
Also there is approx 1 gallon of "fuel" in the tank of the 93. It's been in the junk yard god knows how long and who actually knows what's in the tank. What's the easiest way to get this out of there? I tried tipping the tank over but nothing poured out, I assume this is because of the baffling.
There are some venting hoses on top of the tank. Where to do I install these??
One last thing. I want to test the pump before I install. Can I just hook up a power and ground source straight from the battery and see if it runs?
