I've had a 92 XJ for a few years.
Less than 200,000 miles. Runs well. And it's basically my camping go to. I've loaded it with all the stuff so I can just hop in and go. Well, after not having the chance to go for quite some time, like over a year, even though I drove the Jeep around the block a few times, sitting for that amount of time really messes up I feel system, including tank and pump.
So, my unsolicited advice to anyone with a vehicle that sits without being used for over a month....
Either drain the tank, drive or run it until it's empty, or use your imagination and come up with a way to use the vehicle.
Pulling a fuel tank, cleaning it, replacing the fuel pump, all the rusty hardware, and doing that when you thought you were going to be able to go play in the mountains, is not fun or cheap.
