Fuel tank vacuum

[PerryEX]

I did not have to drop the tank, but probably not for the reason you are thinking. I have made an easily removable (approximately 14"x14") section of the truck bed for easy access to the fuel tank module.

However, I don't think it is necessary to drop the tank to remove the rollover protection valve. The rollover protection valve is located in the forward part of the fuel tank module. There is nothing connected to it. The left side of the photo represents the front of the truck.

Mine used a wavy washer to hold it into place. To remove it, I pressed downward and simultaneously rotated the valve 90° clockwise and lifted it out. I think there are other methods to hold them in place, as well.

That's a clever trick, John. I'll pass this on to my uncle when we start working on his 2002 Dodge 2500 next week. The shocks and suspension from 4Wheelonline for the Wrangler arrived yesterday so hope we can clear the garage this weekend.

If you decide that you want to pursue this, send me a private message. I can offer some photos and tips to help with the job. It really is not hard to do. I am very glad I went to the trouble. I can now have the fuel tank module on the bench in ten minutes.
