Anyone know what a stock 2.5l 1990 yj w/ 5 speed gets? How about the fule tank size?

like 19 to the gallon

 

[jakec]

the fuel tank should be either 15 or 20 gallons. the only way i know how to tell is by running till almost empty then filling up and see if it holds 15 or 20. im sure someone else on here knows a better way to tell though.

I've got an 87 and I get 22 mpg and with a hard top on and about 25 with top off and. it's a 15 gallon.

I believe most have 20 gallon tank but they have the filler tube down into the tank to make them a 15 gallon.There is other posts on here to show you how to modify the tank to make it a 20 gallon tank.

I got these specs off of another site.

'87-'90 fuel tank is 15gal with the 2.5L engine. In '91 and through '95 they used a plastic 15gal tank that can be easily converted to 20gal by trimming the fill tube that extends down into the tank to limit capacity to 15gal.

According to the gov, a 1990 2.5 gets 16 city and 19 highway:
