I got up at 5:40 this morning and drove 2 hours to a Parts-A-Rama at Butler County, Pa fairgrounds. Stood right there and looked at a 2001 XJ fule tank. It looked too deep to be an easy swap, but none-the-less I'm kicking myself for not picking it up To "play with". The guy had no prices posted, but the stuff he sold while I was standing there wnet dirt cheap. Filler neck placement is no issue on mine as I trunk fill, so I can move the cap whereever. I'd love to get the pump in the tank to reduce noise levels in the interior. Oh, well maybe next year ! :] Is it just me or are the swaps getting smaller as time goes on? -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 " I was different before people dared to be different" -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx> > I have a 77 Hornet AMX fuel tank for sale.
