![]() The final rotation is a little higher than this, but not much. A notch on the inside of the plastic tube was added to help prevent the copper tube from rotating. I marked the length, removed the tube, and cut it. ![]() The tube is fed from the inside of the tank (a mirror helps). I carefully bent the tube, avoiding kinking by putting a rubber hose inside the tube while bending. After running a 9/16 drill through the vent to cut of the down-turn, I used a 5/8 ream that I had from another project to open the vent just enough to let the tube slide in. I bought a piece of soft 5/8" copper refrigeration tubing to use as the extension. There is an anti siphon/rollover valve on the filler and a slight downward turn on the vent. Here is what the filler looks like from the inside. ![]() I know some people fit 25 gallons in the XJ tank, but that leaves no headspace at all. My goal was to fit 25 gallons (ZJ tank capacity is 23 gallons). I was interested in extending the breather of the tank. I didn't expect any trouble with the gas tank skid since the part-numbers for the XJ and ZJ skids suggest they are almost the same part. The differences between the tanks are subtle, but the ZJ tank is definitely wider. I just finished installing a larger capacity ZJ tank on my '98 and thought people might be interested to know there is nothing preventing a ZJ tank from fitting with a Tailbone, Hidden Hitch, Ruffstuff diff cover, Rusty's gas-tank skid, and air-line for the ARB locker.
