Default Gas Tank for '88 Jeep Cherokee

Hi there,

Was wondering what the size of gas tank is for my '88 Jeep Cherokee. Don't have owner's manual, it looks like 20 gal from what I am seeing online but just wanted to be sure. Thanks for the help! Its a 1988 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer, 5 spd, 4 wd.

Most likely you have a 13.5 gallon tank

I'm pretty sure my 90 is 20. I had thought is was smaller till I put over 18 in one time. OK. mark the calander, I actually opened a book. (knew it was in the front). Says "standard" 13.5, "optional" 20 gals. I think most of us are optional.

Could be a 20 gallon. Most XJs I know of have the 20 gallon tank, even my 87 2.5 XJ.

I literally ran mine out of gas before(twice, one on purpose one on mistake) and put about a gallon in it to get me home and to a gas station and it would only fill up to 15.5?

I think if there were only two options, (13.5 and 20 gal), mine has to be 20 as I just put almost 15 gal in the other day the gas gauge was reading a little around a quarter tank, the gas gauge could always be worng though lol.
