hey i was just at chico pick n pull the other day and found a xj in the yard with a aftermarket custom made steel 30 gallon fuel tank that mounts in the factory spot and even looked like the stock fuel pump fits in it and is held up by heavy duty straps and is stamped on the side that it is a legal approved tank
made by transflow in chico i think

it does hang down quite a bit farther than the stock tank or else i would have nabbed it but i just figured i would let yall know incase someone is building more of an expedition type of xj that would need to hold lots of fuel for extended trip i dont know how much they charge for a gas tank i didnt ask
it was pretty beefy lookin though just a heads up

Yeah if it was cheap enough, I would have snatched that up. You know that must have cost a few dollars to build.
