[QUOTE="TimberTim, post: 438634, member: 20208"] does your fuel gauge on your dash work ? Your Fuel Gauge is a good indicator of the condition of your In-Tank Submersible Electric Fuel Pump Ground ! Turn your Ignition key to the On position with out starting the Engine. If the Fuel Gauge moves to the full position and stays there and reads Full all the time (even with an Empty tank) it indicates your Fuel pump Ground needs some attention, I'm not experienced enough to tell you how to correctly make this repair nor was I ambitious enough to tear the whole jeep apart looking for the problem so I simply ran a jumper wire from the ground wire by the fuel tank and grounded it to the body. I used the Black w/ Yellow stripe wire . it is located in and above the 3 wire connector (towards the engine) that plugs the fuel tank to the wire loom. The positive wire to the pump doesn't energize until you turn the key to start. Hope this helps you or someone else. [/QUOTE]
