Default Can't find 1998 XJ Fuel Tank

Other than visiting a Pick-N-Pull, I can't seem to find any gas/fuel tank for my 98 XJ. Does anybody have any recommendations of where I could find one?

Thanks for the assistance!

Check ebay, check CL for part outs, you'll be hard pressed to find one in a salvage yard, as most of them remove or drill holes in the tanks due to the fire risk. I have looked online in the past without much luck, you can get pre 96 in steel, or get an aftermarket extended range tank, but those are WAY too expensive, haha. Never had any luck finding 97 and up. Then again, I didn't really look that hard either.

Well that's what I get for trusting Amazon's "Narrow down for your vehicle" thingy...picture is obviously a 96 and down.

After a quick google search, it doesn't look like there is an aftermarket stock replacement tank.

You are going to need to pull one off another XJ (ebay has a few for around $100 including shipping), or just get a Genright extended range tank

But the price!

Default Thanks for the recommendations

An extended range tank would be great! But not in the budget at the moment

ZJ Tanks will also fit, and hold 3 more gallons (I think)
