1967 Jeep CJ5 Complete Fuel System Install!

1967 Jeep CJ5 Complete Fuel System Install! In this video I install a new gas tank in the cj5. This is a more modern plastic gas tank with the sending unit in the top. Custom hard lines going to the fuel pump and carburetor. Some valuable lessons learned on this project. This should apply to most cj2a, cj3a, CJ3B, and other Willys Jeeps.

I contemplated the plastic tank. Ended up going with steel tank w/ bottom connections. I can send you fueling routing from fuel pump to carb video if you would like. I have 1960 CJ5. My grandfather taught me to drive it when I was six years old (1970). I am restoring it now. You can imagine the value of this Jeep to me. I have two sons like you (25 and 31). Your videos are absolutely awesome for restoration and forward thinking. Thank you for sharing them! Could you do me a favor and tell me where you got the wheels for your 67 cj5? I am looking to replace original wheels with up to date safer ones. Also if you put rubber shims or original felts under that tank, the fuel neck may line up better with the opening in the body.

Lines should look into the bottom

Best money spent on my Jeep so far, was without a doubt the Scoutpilot rebuild on my carb.

[@bobert201164]

I bought a steel tank and made my own hard lines

[@mikep9032]

Hey there. Haven't seen much of you lately. You ok?

[@robertbrandywine]

I'm too OCD to live with that kludge. I've have to get a metal tank and reroute the lines to match factory ones.

[@larryalexander4833]

Just thought I'd check in on you ? Been a bit and was hoping all is well. 🙏✝️👍

[@Galloway54499]

The hard fuel line was probably made for the Dauntless V6

Scout Pilot did an amazing job on my carb as well. I replaced all my gas lines, but I had an original line to compare to and the new one went under water pump and wrapped around to passenger side then up to carb. Several of the bolts had clip/clamps to hold the line in place. I used a fuel pump for the F-134 that didn’t use a glass bowl and Scout pilot rebuilt mine a well. Metal tank works well and cleaner install, just have to deal with rust with time.

I wish I had seen your video a month ago. I think I bought the same junk kit you did and can’t make it work!

The joy of modern "parts".

[@brianmorrow9815]

I absolutely hate it when you think you are getting good new parts and end up with garbage. I have that same fuel tank that I threw across the shop and ended up ordering a steel one. I thought the plastic one was terrible. Good job on the video as usual.

[@dgiorgi1725]

Nice job... sometimes its better to give a job to a professional for excellent results such as the Carb you mentioned. I replaced the tank in my 50 Willys pickup with a Poly Unit. It fit well and it is made in America but the fuel line I made all myself. I also used a Facet Electric fuel pump with rubber isolators which makes it super quiet. The Holley electric one was junk. I placed an inline Pressure Regulator, a Pressure Gauge, Glass filter after the Gauge so I will be able to see when it may be clogged and although they have a built in pump removable fuel filter in the Pump I also put a see through unit in with a shut off for easy changing. Of course I am running a Ford 302 V-8 with an Edlebrock Carb.

I'm about to start the process of replacing most of my fuel system and fixing parts that just need some tlc. I limped my cj2a through the last few weeks of fall with the intentions of working on it over the winter. With warmer weather coming and this video providing some additional motivation, it is time to get it out of the pole shed and into the garage. Perseverance is the key when keeping an old jeep running. Great video.

[@charlesecheese8499]

Plumbing is a lot of work to get right. Nice job here, and your comments on the parts and carb work are spot on.

[@gravesgarage]

Awesome Video G!

[@amx19733]

I just started looking at my line’s today and glad I watched your video as you answered several of my questions and concerns! As always Great content!!!’

[@markwiseman3485]

Keep up the great video's! I used vinegar on old tank and cleaned it up instead (But you didn't have that option with your project). Also bent my own line from fuel pump to carburetor.

[@marydickson5871]

Good information, thanks for doing this video. You have made me feel better about my recent decision to use a steel gas tank replacement and make up my own fuel lines. I did all that because I'm cheap but sounds like I accidentally avoided several headaches. Keep up the good work.

[@davewilson6349]

Great video, Keep up the good work. I was given a 1977 CJ, the general knowledge is very helpful easy to follow. Thanks!
