Fuel Tank Skid Install

[LWM]

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Amazing job!

Thanks for all the information and pictures! It doesn't look too bad, but I can definitely see how a second pair of hands would make it easier.

Did you find a place to put yours on for you.

Not without paying an outrageous amount of cash. I was getting quoted about 4 hours of labor at $65-100 per hour. I'll just need to either go home when my dad is around to help or head your way. It's about a 2 hour drive regardless. It'll probably go smoother with someone who's already done it.

offer still stands bro. I'm sure we can find a day were both available at the same time.

Looks good bro! Glad you posted the part numbers for those clips. I broke mine a while back and Jeep said I couldnt get those seperately.

Thanks man, the first thing I thought when I broke that piece was I would have to by the entire fuel line The package says ford GM on it they didn't have anything that said Chrysler or Jeep on it freaking stupid. But they were identical replacements so all was good.

Just finished up my skid install. I ended up breaking all the retaining clips and the ones I found for replacements aren't quite the same but they worked and hold the lines. I broke the large EVAP clip at the back of the fuel tank with the 2 lines that branch off and have no replacement clip (wasn't supposed to come off, but it did........oops). The only other thing I ran into was the Hemi has no bleeder valve on the fuel rail so I removed the fuse for the fuel pump and ran it dry to remove the pressure. I also used a high lift floor jack to support the tank when I dropped and reinstalled the tank. Sal, the write up helped a great deal, thanks.

The part number in the first post is from advanced auto they were a perfect match for the clips that came off my XK. Sorry to hear you broke that big clip I showed in the write up to leave that one connected did that come apart on accident or did you break it? Now that you're done is there anything I should add to this thread that can help future members out?

I just installed my tank. While i was at it I modified the tank to allow maximum flex down the road when i get sway bar discos and longer shocks.
