OK i know I've seen it some where but i can't find it. I am wanting to put an upright cell in the rear of a 95 Wrangler to make room for my kids to ride with me. I have a flat aluminum now but it takes all the room where the rear seat used to go. I am need it to go as far to the rear as possible which i hate to lose all the storage I have for tools and extra parts/gear but the weekends I have my kids I would like to take them too. Any info would be much appreciated.
 
not sure about the measurements on a YJ...but the 2161 will fit behind the seat of a TJ with the rear seat still functional...

I went with the 2191 (19-gallon) instead...the 2161 is a 15-gallon...but I sold my rear seat and the cell is mounted right up behind the center console...

this is what worked for my yj... i was on a budget and decided not to "Waste" the money on ss fuel lines and all that snazzy stuff

rci 2161a (sometimes referred to as just rci 2161) from summit racing or ebay

e2000 fuel pump from advance auto parts... $75 or so will work for you. i went with a lower pressure pump b/c i only needed 14 psi of fuel pressure but the e2000 will work great for you. that's a motorcraft (sp?) part number but it can be cross referenced.

get a -8 to -6 AN reducer for your feed

get a -8 to -4 AN reducer for return

get a 90 degree -6AN barbed fittings from summit, summit brand

get a 90 degree -4AN barbed fitting from summit, summit brand

i'd suggest some sort of multi point fuel pickups if you plan to wheel when low on fuel.... i went with some from http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/ the cell has a pickup tube near the center that extends straight down and about 1" off the bottom of the cell. i cut mine witha small hacksaw so i could use hose clamps and fuel injection hose to hookup my multi-point fuel pickups... which i honestly think i wasted my money on since i never wheel or drive when low on fuel....

use fuel injection hose from advance auto or wherever to hook it all up.... 3/8" feed, 5/16" return

some hose clamps

good idea to have pump mounted as low as possible and put loops in the fuel line before and after the pump..... these loops will essentially keep the pump primed so you don't need to buy a high volume low pressure "primer" pump in addition to the e2000....

do whatever you want for the vent... just be sure it's effective and is somewhere that water won't get into it and where it's out of harms way.
