Empty 2001 grand cherokee gas tank

Hello,

There are 2 filters.

1. One is on the end of the pickup tube inside of the gas tank.
2. The second is in-line, above the front edge of the gas tank, inboard of the frame member. It is part of the fuel regulator/filter assembly.

Here's a diagram:

Take care.

yes it may be ur computer problem

try to off it for few hours and then ON it

The fuel sending unit in the gas tank is faulty. Had one in a 1992 cherokee that was bad, changed it, works perfectly.

Disconnect and replace fuel filter.With filter disconnected have someone momentarily turn key to on position to see is fuel pump is working.Make sure you have lots of rags,a drain pan and safety goggles on

You will not like my answer.

The fuel pump is inside the gas tank.

You will need to drain the tank and drop the tank to gain access to the fuel pump via the top of the gas tank.

Mark sure your new fuel pump has a new screen/sock filter.

Change filter filter at the same time!

Was it empty when you parked it? (i.e. did someone drain the tank, and put sugar in it? something like that?) If not... the fuel filter could be clogged. Check that. Most cars of this age are fuel injected, so the fuel at the fuel filter will be under high pressure. Chiltons manuals usually discuss how to de-pressurize the line if needed. But you probably already dealt with this changing the fuel pump. Good to hear it's turning over. After (finding) the filter... check to see if any fuel is making it through the filter. Turn the ignition to "on" and it will likely start the fuel pump and spray fuel everywhere (if you disconnect the filter output.).... besides having a mess, you will know your fuel pump works. (Try attaching a hose from the fuel filter output to a bucket to prevent a mess and possible fire please ). Can you hear the fuel pump running? Could be a blown fuse for the fuel pump.

Fuel level sending units are known to go bad on these.

fuel filter is underneath in the back where your gas tank is.it looks like a little can with disconnects on both sides.your fuel pump relay should be under the hood. where fuses is.

TRy to put a can of SEAFOAM in the tank to see if it will clear the probe up???? It sounds like trash is around to sensor and it might need to be cleaned???? Cheeep fix to try.

sounds like a bad sending unit in the gas tank. While there you may as well replace the fuel pump too.
