I do believe the filter is part of the unit. You would need to buy the whole unit.

Maybe someone can double check that.

Had my tank replaced yesterday (along with the fender liners) and I am happy to say... after stopping off to fill the tank this morning....... NO OVERFILLING/SPILLING for the first time since I bought it.

Sadly.... You must be so excited when it should never have been a thought in your mind. Congrats. Hope it stays good.

Ya, it's always been frustrating. I usually fill it myself and stop it before it reaches the top....... however, sometimes I gas up in Oregon, where you cannot pump your own gas and those idiots are always too slow to catch it.

Picked mine up at the dealer yesterday after the new tank was installed. Now after a couple years of this I can fill up without worrying! I was leary at first, standing to the side, but it worked like a champ.

mine was order over a month ago and I am still waiting for it. These must be in high demand.

When I had mine replaced, my service rep told me the tanks for the Unlimiteds were in short supply. They had plenty for the two doors.

is everyone getting these letters in the mail?
mine has not come in, i'm wondering if it is a chrysler USA thing... i know the jeeps are identical but according to the service manager (read idiot) at my dealership, they are not!

anyway, my tank is fine until it gets cold, then it pukes like a freshman

anyone have any issues with the dealer blaming it on dents and scratches in your gas tank skid?
