I got a valve from the dealer for 28bucks. The guy even said it looked pretty standard so I'm wondering if I could take it to a parts place and find one that is identical or not? Anyone find a valve that would work that was not from bmw?where did you get it and what vheicle was it for?

 

All the none BMW ones I found break when put in contact with gas....

 

I have a 98 jeep cherokee and got under it but could not find the fuel filter or rubber part of the hose to cut? I it hiding under the gas tank shileld in the back of the truck?

And the valve I ordered from bmw is plastic, does this sound like the right valve? I can post a picture if you want.

 

Anyone got a response for me?Is this the right valve and where is the fuel filter on a 98 jeep cherokee?

 

renix era the fuel filters were always on the driver side just above the rear diff under the truck. Probably close to that area. If not there it may be apart of the pump in the tank. ugh.

 

Your '98 XJ will have the filter in the tank, so your going to have to find a place in the ruber line(closer to the tank the better) to splice it in..

 

Sorry I didn't resond earlier, but Nick is right. That is the only rubber line. I was going to cut the steel line to put it along the unibody frame in a flat level spot along the frame rail. The placement anywhere that is convenient to get to will probably work.

 

No problem, thanks for the responses. I was just getting ancy because I wanna make sure I got the right valve. The one in the link was a metal valve and the bmx part I got is plastic and I only have a few days to exchange it if it is wrong so has anyone heard of a plastic valve?

I'm thinking if I gotta go through the trouble of droping the tank I might wanna do it right or get a used pump, or just leave it alone.

 

Don't waste the money on a used pump, if your going to do it get a new pump..

 

This check valve is now 23.00 dollars that is here in austin tx. as of 11/12/08. Now i am not saying that isnt worth it , but that cannot be the only valve of its kind that will work. There has got to be something off of a honda or american car that will do the same thing? anyone have any ideas?

 

if you want cheap and lookin like it'll hold up, found this one on ebay, i know i know, ebayyyyyy, but maybe you could get a couple rebuild kits with it and be good forever......

Good find 76 it appears to be aluminum so may hold up better than the BMW ones.

 

ya that thing looks pretty stout....i might get one. I also have the cranking issue. Is the rubber line out of the tanks 3/8 or 5/16?? I have a 98.

 

THANKS, YEAH PLASTIC LOOKED CHEAP. AND IF YOUR GONNA do it do it once.
