{"product_id":"mb5020-motobilt-stretch-underbody-fuel-cell-14-5-gallons","title":"Motobilt Stretch Underbody Fuel Cell - 14.5 Gallons","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade to order:\u003c\/strong\u003e This item ships directly from the manufacturer. Typical lead time is 12-15 business days before shipping. Lead times are estimates and not guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce a Jeep TJ or LJ build moves into stretched wheelbase territory, the factory fuel tank becomes a major obstacle. The stock tank location limits rear axle placement, interferes with suspension travel, and makes it difficult to package larger axles and link systems under the Jeep. Builders trying to stretch the wheelbase quickly run out of room unless the fuel system is addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motobilt Stretched TJ Fuel Cell is designed to solve that problem while keeping the tank mounted underneath the vehicle. This system allows up to 6 inches of rear wheelbase stretch depending on axle choice, giving builders the room needed for proper suspension geometry and axle placement. It installs in the factory tank location, so it works whether you are stretching the Jeep or simply upgrading the fuel system for better durability and packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tank is a 14.5 gallon aluminum fuel cell built from 1\/8 inch thick aluminum, CNC cut, formed, and TIG welded for strength and long-term reliability. The fill and vent tubes are CNC machined and positioned to work with factory-style routing using 1997-2002 TJ filler and vent hoses. The top of the tank includes a rollover valve and an 8AN vent fitting for proper fuel system ventilation. A machined mounting location is built into the tank to accept a 2005-2006 TJ fuel pump, secured with a steel clamping ring and hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fuel cell is protected by a fully welded 3\/16 inch steel skid plate that mounts directly to the factory TJ frame. Steel hold-down straps secure the tank to the skid, creating a strong and protected system designed for rock crawling and hard trail use. This setup is built for builders who want to stretch their TJ the right way without giving up a protected underbody fuel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits Jeep Wrangler TJ \/ LJ 1997-2006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for rear stretch applications up to 6 inches depending on axle setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls in factory fuel tank location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be installed without stretching the wheelbase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not require a body lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with factory exhaust routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses 2005-2006 Jeep TJ fuel pump only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePigtail adapter required for 2004 and earlier TJ models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory fuel filler hose and vent from 1997-2002 TJ required\u003cbr\u003e\n2003-2006 TJ models must use earlier style filler and vent hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes rollover valve and 8AN vent fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel pump seal not included. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips raw aluminum tank and raw steel skid plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with Motobilt TJ or LJ Back Half Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for off-road use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate weight 50 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest fit all components before final paint or powder coat.\u003cbr\u003e\nUse only a 2005-2006 TJ fuel pump.
