I'll have to order a spare socket or 2 and some bolts then. Thanks!

 

The XJ gas tank is 20 gallons / 75 litres, but when the fuel gauge is at the empty mark and I fill the jeep to its maximum capacity, I always end up maxing out at 60-65 litres (around 16 gallons).

Is that normal and I always have 10 litres left in it, or I'm just missing something here? Maybe it's stupid question but I really have no idea if it's normal or not.

 

i heard somewhere that when the gauge says empty, if really has another 3-4 gallons in it. I've driven my jeep till it cut off from duel starvation before, I put 2 gallons of gas in it and the gauge still said empty.

 

Alright thanks!

 

That's true, but they often only hold 18 gallons because of venting issues

 

You mean Owner's Manual like Introduction attached?

 

Anybody have an 8.25 laying around? The spring pad has a hole in the center for the pin, and then square punchouts fore and aft of the hole. I need to know the distance between the center of the hole and the center of the forward punchout.

 

Believe my brakes on the 98 xj are having issues, recently got new pads, rotors, shoes, drums, complete hardware kit. Rear brakes are adjusted. Also got a new master cyl. Pedal feels mushy. System was flushed and bled multiple times by multiple people lol. I only have 235/75 R15 tires on, Should I be able to lock up the wheels at higher speeds? Non ABS. Any input would be great.

 

Leaks anywhere? I just lost my front right brake line but it just kept getting mushier and mushier.

 

You should absolutely be able to lock your tires. Was the master cylinder new or remanufactured, and was it bench bled? From what I understand, they have about a 40% failure rate on reman units. It's also important to make sure your line fittings are tight and not allowing air to bleed through.

 

My 94 jeep Cherokee XJ country will rev up to 2000 rpm, quickly drop to 1000 then shoot back up to 2000 for about a second and repeats this with no engine light, if i want to build speed i have to keep my revs bellow 2000.
Tried replacing TPS sensor but didn't seem to help.
Would you possibly know what might be wrong?

 

The Mc was brand new and bench bled, everything is tight, went through all the lines front to back to side to side and over again, no signs of any fluid seeping anywheres. It seems to bleed nicely, don't have any bubbles whatsover. Only thing I can think of now is that the booster is leaking internally, getting vacuum on both sides of the diaphragm, If that makes any sense..lol. Now here's the confusing part, every so often, the brakes randomly feel better and it feels that they are actually grabbing. Thanks for your input!

 

Clean the throttle body and inside the chamber where the idle air control sensor is bolted to, on the side of the throttle body.

Also check the rubber hose under the map sensor going to intake manifold.

 

I just filled up from empty and it held 17 gallons. I have also driven well past Empty, with the needle bottomed out.
I would try to measure but the Wife took jeep to work today.

 

Yes.

1. Air at the top. The stated tank capacity is absolute, but it is artificially restricted to allow for expansion.

2. If it was actually empty your Jeep would have shut off from running out of fuel

Nope. That's a service guide again... Owner's Manual has stuff like how to use the turn signal, adjust the seat, etc. Did your vehicles not include one?

+1 sounds like air is getting in there that isn't accounted for.
