I just swapped in a new tank from a 89 into my 92 XJ but now my fuel gauge is backwareds, Reads full when its empty, and empty when its full. Is there an easy way to fix this problem? Or should I just deal with it.

chrysler changes several things when they finally swapped to the 4.0L HO engine.. th efuel pump/sender assembly was one of them.. i'm suprised the plug/pigtail was the same. or did you have to splice it? if it works and you are comfortable with it the way it is just leave it alone.. or swap the old one back in.. its a real PITA but you can do it without dropping the tank...

Yea it runs fine, i drove it home and everything. I'm just wondering if I flip the harness if it'll blow something up or possibly work? Its a 3 wire harness. Oh and it just clipped up no splicing required.

Its possible, I put it the way it looked like it lined up, but who knows. I'm going to try swapping it around just not on a city street incase I fry something (fuel pump)

I say the easiest solution is to just look at it through a mirror. No re-wiring or anything like that. All you have to do is mount a small mirror and your good.

dont swap the wires unless you are sure it will work, you could fry the sender... use a digital multimeter, and test the wires. see what they do, and use your head to figure out what you can do. don't just use trial and error, it is an easy way to cause a big pain in your @$$

I agree, that is why I left it the way it is, and posted on the board to see if anyone had done it before. Worst comes to worse i could take the old one out of my old tank.
