We did get one, brand new, took a week to get it, but he had it, it's in and it works great.

It wasn't really cheap, but you know, much cheaper than the dealer's price so. So we did actually have a supplier who managed to source of brand new one for us. There's a good aftermarket company in Canada and the US, that makes fuel tanks for pretty much anything, but they didn't make one for this vehicle either. And also if it was, it was insanely expensive. Mark: So you talked about it's hard to find, were there not just not a lot of repair replacement options available?īernie: No, like the dealer, so from Chrysler, the tank had been discontinued and that, that's an only, it's not a Mercedes tank that fits in a Chrysler, it's actually available for Chrysler, you know, a Jeep tank. And as you'll see with some further pictures and as we discuss it, how this, you know, could unfold on a lot more vehicles going forward. But yeah, not a common issue, but I can see why, how, you know, based on this issue with what we found with this vehicle. So the tank was a little interesting to source. This is a difficult tank to find too, by the way, because it's a kind of a rare model, a sort of a half Mercedes, half Jeep kind of combination. So the interesting thing is on the diesel version of the Grand Cherokee, the gas, the fuel tank is metal and the other versions, the gasoline powered, they're a plastic tank. Mark: Are leaking fuel tanks a common issue on Grand Cherokees?īernie: No, they're not. So we replaced all the fuel injectors, cleaned off the engine, cleaned underneath the vehicle, road, tested it, and then we've also found that the gas tank was leaking, which was a bit of a surprise, first time we'd seen something like that on one of these vehicles. And that's a pretty major repair on one of these vehicles. They're also leaking combustion gas out of the engine. The first thing we noted coming out from under the hood, there was some pretty bad fuel injector leaks, to the point, where we basically need to replace all six fuel injectors. What was going on with the Jeep?īernie: Yeah, so this vehicle came to our shop. Our favourite, there was a fuel tank problem. Mark: 2007 Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, a three litre diesel. How are you doing Bernie?īernie: Doing very well.
