Backstory
So i'm doing my daily Craigslist search for my next XJ and i come across what could be perfect: '87 pioneer with 95k on the clock, original owner, all stock, some surface rust, selec-trac, awesome black houndstooth interior, etc. (some of you may be questioning why this my ideal jeep, but we all like different xj's for different reasons, and this one has wet my appetite)
The problem is the owner took the gas tank and fuel pump out some years ago because the the fuel pump wasn't working properly (owner never figured the problem out, so he never put the pump and tank back in).
I need to know if there is any way to start this jeep without reinstalling the gas tank and fuel pump. I want to see if the engine will run before I take a chance on the car.
The rest of the fuel system is intact, just no fuel pump or tank.
Need suggestions, I feel like someone must have needed to do this at some point.
regards,
Ecgtech
