There's not much that can really go wrong. Did you disconnect the battery first?

Haven't done it yet (in a little while though), but I just got back from getting gas, getting ready to take the Boy Scouts camping this weekend and smelled gas. Seems that the seal around my fuel pump is leaking so I just drained the tank and am going to switch it in a bit. Hopefully, it's all I'll have to do this weekend.

Yea, I got a fairly new(ish) one from the jy and it popped in easily. I'm just giving it a hard time because my earlier fixes ended me up in the hospital lol

Rockauto.com sells them for a pretty good price, or O'RIELLY AUTOPARTS has pretty good prices and most have lifetime warrantys.

Cut/removed my rear swaybar (Made no difference to the jeeps Cornering LOL). Then installed 703 fuel injectors from the junk yard, i REALLY needed new injectors, the 703's were fairly clean.

I Cried because no matter what do my Mpg cant get above 15 MPG and with as much as I have invested I could of just let it be at 14.4mpg and put the 450 invested into the MPG factor and just bought gas with it. $450/$3.35= 134.3 gallons of gas X 14.4 mpg= 1934.3 miles I could of driven.
