Default fuel tank upgrade

I have a 89 cherokee with the 13 gal fuel tank that needs to be replaced because the internal baffle came loose, was wondering how hard it would be to replace it with the 20 gal tank? what parts would i need besides the tank and straps???

thanks in advance

Might require some looking into but I think (not for sure) the XJ's are like the YJ in that all tanks are the same size just the difference is in the pickup tube.

Like I said I'm not 100% sure though..

I would think all you would need is a 20 gal tank and straps then the proper fuel pump and you'd be set.
