I was thinking about getting a larger gas tank, but I don't know what would be the best option. I was thinking about going with a GC 20gal. any suggestions. Penny budget, just so you know.

PM me your vin and I can look at the Jeeps build sheet. Some came with 18 gal, mine came with 20 gal. Just to be sure your sending unit is not lying to ya.

The tanks were all the same size, the capacity had to do with the length of the vent tube

Early model maximum OEM is 20.2g, as Souske said it's a vent thing, dirty trick by AMC really, Chrysler ultimately stopped producing the "two" tanks and standardized on the 20.2g one.
There used to be a 32 gallon aftermarket tank made by Rocky Road Outfitters if I recall, I'm not sure they still exist; alterntively Genright has a 30.5g one but we're talking $800 MSRP for that puppy.

Rocky Road strikes me as shiesty. Plus their customer service sucks if you have a problem with your parts.

Just go to the parts store and have them look up a tank. Will have two versions. A 13 gallon and a 20 gallon. As stated above and I can varify. They are the same exact outside dimensions. They use the same sender as each other as well, with in each year range that is. In both my 89's there where 13 gallon tanks. I just bought 20 gallons stock tanks from oriellys and changed them out. Simple R&R.
