I have a 1998 TJ and I’m trying to figure out the fuel tank size. My manual says 15 gal is standard but the 19 gal was an option. My gas gauge isn’t working so I will be replacing the fuel pump assembly and need to know which one to get.

Plug your vin number into the Jeep build sheet finder to get the right size. It will mostly likely be a 19 as most Jeeps came with that size, but checking is the only way to be sure.

Finish off your vin in the link above to get your build sheet.

Regardless of what you have, they're actually the same tank. If you find out you have the 15 gallon, simply cut the filler neck down inside the tank and you now have the 19 gallon tank. If you make the conversion, use the 19 gallon assembly so your fuel gauge reads correctly.

Thanks everyone. I emailed jeep and they sent me the build sheet for my jeep. Its a 19 gallon.
Sorry about bringing up an old forum, but my build sheet shows 15.3 gallon tank, and then further down the sheet it says " 5 additional gallons of gas".
So, does that mean larger capacity, or does it mean something else?

That is the FREE gas when the vehicle moved off the line to get it to the destination.
I know it's an old thread, but I just changed out my fuel pump (and cleaned my tank), so my tank was bone dry. I put 5 gallons in it, drove it 3 miles to town and put 15 more in it. I suspect the lines probably held about 1/2 gallon, since they had been drained too. My fuel gauge read 1/4 full until I got it started, then it read 1/8 and the light came on.
I know this is an old thread. But the one time I ran the tank dry, I put in over 20 gallons into my 19 gallon tank.
Sorry about bringing up an old thread, but my low-fuel light comes on with about 3 gallons remaining.
