[QUOTE="DOWNS, post: 438845, member: 21038"] What year is your YJ? Once 91 hit, they all had the same tank with a different vent hose insert. One was for 15 gallon, one was for 20 gallon even though the physical size of the tank was the same. The 15 gallon insert went far into the tank and prevented the tank from being filled to 20 gallon even though the tank was actually a 20 gallon tank. If you aren't the original owner, it's possible a previous owner put a 20 gallon sending unit in a Jeep originally equipped with a 15 gallon vent tube, and what you are running into is having to try to top off a tank that's only setup to take 15 gallons while the gauge is trying to read a 20 gallon sensor.
