Just following up after driving about 25 miles: after my Mobil-1 oil change, new spark plugs, and the new fuel pump, I am really happy with how Jeepy drives. The engine is ultra-quiet, and settles down to ~600 RPM at idle with no hesitation. The Jeep feels like it makes good power on the road, and it drives smoothly. There are no rattles from the skid plate, no noises from the fuel pump, no leaks, and no evap codes or pending codes.

Oh and I put 19.485 gallons into the tank, including the 5 gallons from yesterday. No wonder it was out of gas! :p

I know that feeling! Did you get the low fuel warning light?

Oh yes. When the light comes on in my 08 I have 2.5 gallons remaining of my 19.5 gallon tank. What is the capacity of the KJ’s tank?

My KJ also has a standard 19.5 gallon tank & wishes it had more capacity off road!

My 06 Limited has the 21-gallon tank. It can consume mass quantities of $.

My Jeep says it has 20.5 gallon fuel capacity. I know I was coming home late at night from a concert a few years back and put 20.2 gallons in it. The concert was in Akron and I assumed there would be gas stations all along the highway coming back home. By the time I found one I had about bitten through my lip.

FYI, ASFIR 4x4 is offering free worldwide shipping on their skid plates right now, in case anyone needs armor.
