The TJ pumps are pretty expensive but the junk yards are full of XJ's with pumps that will work with a little work. It's actually a very easy swap Of course you need to pull the tank, removed the hoses and wires and unscrew the ring holding the pump in and remove the pump The XJ pump is on the left, TJ on the right Now you need to remove the outer casing from the TJ pump and slide out the pump, it might take a little push with a screwdriver from the bottom You will see that the pump itself is the same Swap the ends, and i would strongly suggest new filters Slide the case back on and reinstall it, When I removed mine the first time the filter on the bottom fell off in the tank and I didn't realized it even had one there until I poured the rest of the fuel out of the old tank, by this time I had already installed the new tank After it's all reinstalled remove the bleeder cap on the fuel rail, turn the key on, press the valve to release air from the fuel system. Pull-A-Part price for an XJ pump is 13.64 New TJ pump is upwards of $100

Nice to know... Just bought one off a guy thinking I was getting the whole assy... Found a write up about a mod to get the other 4 gallons out of an RCI 2161 fuel cell like I have... Gonna post it up once I get it all together to do..
Mike.. do you know if the fuel regulator on the XJ is the same or not?? Apparently those are $90 too!!

I don't remember the regulater being on top of the XJ assembly like the TJ has, but it's been several months since I did this swap
