Can the 05-06 fuel pump go in the older tanks? Need to have the higher pressure for a engine swap.
 
I wonder if you could graft the pump to an older assembly.

I don't think the assemblies are cross compatible because the venting system is different. 05-06 TJs have a more advanced vapor recovery system to reduce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emissions.

The pump assembly might pop in place, but you may have to do some plumbing to get it to work.

Genright's product page for their 24 gallon tank briefly mentions this venting difference:

Yeah I'm not worried about plumbing. All I need at the pump is the higher pressure. I'm engine swapping.
