Car Forum / Jeep / July 20062000 Cherokee Fule Filter
I just purchased the 2000 Cherokee with 135k miles. I'm trying to snuff it up all the way around. The fuel filter is my next concern. Where is it located??? Can't seem the find it. Do I need to install an inline filter? What is you recommendation? Thanks from a new Jeep driver. http://www.billhughes.com/WJfuelFilterRegulator.pdf God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com > I just purchased the 2000 Cherokee with 135k miles.

Bill...., he needs the XJ diagram where the filter mounts above the tank instead of the WJ location in front of the tank. . > http://www.billhughes.com/WJfuelFilterRegulator.pdf > God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> it located???

Here is a photo of the fuel pump and strainers: http://www.rockauto.com/ref/Carter/DetailPump.html?CARTF.EPUMP.PI.P74186.jpg In the late '90s these strainers at the fuel pump rather than a stand alone fuel filter became common for many vehicles. I don't know if Jeep recommends these strainers be replaced as part of routine maintenance. > I just purchased the 2000 Cherokee with 135k miles. I'm trying to snuff > it up all the way around.

Ouch. I've seen web pictures of a flap cut above the unit. I'm sure someone here had the page or the measurements. >> The 2000 Cherokee 4.0 L and 2.5 L has "strainers" at the fuel pump. >> Here is a photo of the fuel pump and strainers: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > If the filter mounts above the tank, the tank would have to be removed? > Ouch. if it has a replaceable fuel filter it is grey and suits infront of the gas tank near the left upper shock mount and is attached to the underbody by 2 screws . if you don't see it there then it's in the gas tank and is a 100k service item > > The 2000 Cherokee 4.0 L and 2.5 L has "strainers" at the fuel pump. > > Here is a photo of the fuel pump and strainers: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > If the filter mounts above the tank, the tank would have to be removed? > Ouch. Tank removal isn't as bad a job as it seems, at least on my TJ...I've had it out a couple of times for various reasons, but not to replace the filter yet. It's easier when the tank is close to empty though, and when using a floor jack to lower it. >> The 2000 Cherokee 4.0 L and 2.5 L has "strainers" at the fuel pump. >> Here is a photo of the fuel pump and strainers: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > If the filter mounts above the tank, the tank would have to be removed? > Ouch.

You can also disconnect the line at the rail and run the fuel pump manually to drain the tank. Just make sure you have a good catch can and secure the hose because the pump puts out a lot of pressure and volume. That or a hose to siphon it out. I found the pump to be faster. Do not underestimate the weight of fuel and the difficulty of managing a sloshing tank. Anything above E is going to be a pain in the a.s. By the time I get to do my tank I'll have probably done five others. (as long as they bring beer it's all ok.) :D  SignatureDougW The rollover check valve precludes trying to siphon the tank. Best to drain it or run it till it's almost empty. > Matt Macchiarolo did pass the time by typing: >> Tank removal isn't as bad a job as it seems, at least on my TJ...I've had [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > By the time I get to do my tank I'll have probably done five others. > (as long as they bring beer it's all ok.) :D |
